 * > BackUpWordPress has detected a problem. wp-cron.php is returning a 403 response
   > which could mean cron jobs aren’t getting fired properly. BackUpWordPress relies
   > on wp-cron to run scheduled back ups. See the FAQ for more details.I’
 * I’m unable to identify the cause of the 403. There’s no blockage from htaccess
   or wp-config or my host.

 * There is no url. It just shows that error in the plugin options.

 * Are you still seeing the error in BackUpWordPress?
 * [http://www.onlinemonetizing.info/wp-cron.php](http://www.onlinemonetizing.info/wp-cron.php)
   is giving a 200 response to me.
 * If the issue is still happening it’s likely that your host is blocking requests
   that come back to the same server, I’d recommend contacting them.

 * Cloudflare was somehow interfering with wp-cron. Contacting cloudflare support
   now.

 * Haven’t come across that before, if you get anywhere please let me know as I’d
   be interested to find out more.
