Incorrect Cron Script Dates

[TheMayhem]

I have reinstalled an old backup which had cron script dates of everything running on October 2nd, a week later nothing has updated to the current date and so therefor all of my scripts are still awaiting for October 2nd to hit even though it has past. I have manually clicked run on multiple occasions and added new scripts hoping to correct the issue but it has not. Any ideas?

Ive got the same problem and ive gone to edit the crons and gives it a new date and when you pass that date it doesnt run the cron.

My crons run to when I click them.

Can anyone help.

The scheduled tasks are triggered by code in your footer template. Sometimes edits to this templates or code added to other templates can break this.

The first step to troubleshoot this is to revert your footer template and see if this fixes the problem.

The next step to troubleshoot this, remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

Next, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

Note, scheduled tasks are triggered by forum activity so you will need to view the forums sometime after the task is supposed to run.
