What do I need to change to get this plugin working properly? New to WP but not new to tech (started in 1985).

It is probably not identical to the one in this thread, since this had to do with PHP 7. * To get you started though, I would try enabling WP_DEBUG and see if you get any errors reported in Server self connect. * [oliviaruthband](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliviaruthband/) * (@oliviaruthband) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-not-expected-http-response-2/#post-9106771) * Hi Brandon I will start a new thread if that’s what is needed. * I enabled WP_DEBUG, ran the backup again, and there was no log file created in\ wp-content, and I got the same http 200 error. Enabling this actually broke the web site, which when accessed just displayed a heap of errors on the screen, so I changed it back. This is insanely frustrating that this plugin does not work. Am I the only one? Site is a ‘managed wordpress hosting’ site on GoDaddy, if this helps. * absolute sheer frustration.

You could ask your host why a script is having trouble accessing wp-cron. * Or, a fast workaround in such circumstances is to enable ALTERNATE_WP_CRON. You can do so by adding this in wp-config.php: * `define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true );` * [oliviaruthband](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliviaruthband/) * (@oliviaruthband) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-not-expected-http-response-2/#post-9110443) * Thanks for your suggestions. You know what? this is all too difficult. I am going to uninstall your plugin and get one that works. * Thanks. * BC * Plugin Contributor [Brandon Olivares](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cocreation/) * (@cocreation) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-not-expected-http-response-2/#post-9112240) * Hi [@oliviaruthband](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oliviaruthband/), I’m sorry to hear that. We’re happy to help, but sometimes there are conflicts with the host environment and such. We can work around those but it takes a bit of debugging.
