Setup plugin to work with cloudflare

    Hi,
    I have recently installed this plugin thinking that it will solve the problems I was having with other backup plugins.

    The problem is that I was thinking that my hosting were deleting my backups saved on the hosting, but the real problem is that cloudflare is interfering with the cron jobs.

    Cloudflare told me that I must run the cron jobs through a subdomain running out of the cloudflare system.

    I did it, but I don’t know how to setup this domain on the plugin. Is there a way? Because actually I prefer this plugin over the others with the option to storage the backups on google drive.

    Please provide me a solution.

    Thanks a lot.

    Best Regards.

    Hi,

    You can set up external cron jobs to run the WordPress scheduler. To do so, you will need to disable the WordPress cron by adding the following to your wp-config.php:
    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', 'true');

    You will then need to create a cron job to call the ‘wp-cron.php’ file. Your hosts/cloudflare should be able to tell you the best way to set up a cronjob on your environment.

    Alternatively, you can set up a cron job to specifically trigger backups. Instructions on this can be found here:
