 * Hey guys:
 * I have htaccess set up to redirect /wp-admin/ back to my site for security purposes,
   to log in there is a random string of characters a user needs to type in e.g.**
   mysite.com/a83990034dfae4/**. Per your FAQ item (below) is what I am doing something
   that would cause wp-cron to not work? If so, is there a workaround?
 * > Is your site private (I.E. is it behind some kind of authentication, maintenance
   > plugin, .htaccess) if so wp-cron won’t work until you remove it, if you are
   > and you temporarily remove the authentication, do backups start working?
 * Thanks for any help!

 * Hi Matstarts,
 * As the wp-cron.php file is in root not in wp-admin, your site should work fine.
