Hey Hart, I didn’t get any database backups through the cron. I personally don’t use future posts very often, so I am also not sure if the future pings plugin work…

Its weird – the wp-cron code looks really fine, at least to me (a WP plugins newbie), so I really don’t understand why it isn’t working!

Well .. I’ve activated the Future Pings plugin, but haven’t noticed anything different really – ping-wise .. or traffic spikes…

How’s the backup cron working out?

Hehe… yeah you should really check out the pings, wouldn’t want to ping Pingomatic 50 times and without visible updates, and then let your posts appear without letting them know.

Wow. Learn something new everyday. I am king of pre-posting .. just last weekend I preposted about 50 articles among my blogs. I should check that pinging out and see if it is an issue. I don’t think it is, but you never know.

Okay thanks Hart, once again. wp-future-pings is used for prescheduled posts – in a nutshell, it helps to suppress the pings for future dated posts, and then occasionally comes back to check. If the post is ready for display, then the pings are sent Pretty important if you are pre-scheduling posts, to prevent ping spamming.

I’m not really sure what it does actually. It doesn’t affect my daily backups by not having it activated. You know .. it aint broke, so didn’t fix it. wp-cron + wp-db-backup is all you need

You mean wp-future-pings doesn’t work too?

Oh wait – I just ‘got it’ .. that wp-cron-future pings is also NOT activated .. // sorry about that- when I looked it was above the fold.
