Problem with Cron Job

Hi @deepcookieflavor

That’s actually the same thing as what you want.

Note that the constant is ‘Disable_WP_CRON’, not ‘WP_CRON’ itself.

The message is actually prompting you to enable the WP Cron.

So you just need to do as it says and set the ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’ constant to false in your wp-config.php file, or just remove the constant.

Feel free to let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hello and thanks for your quick response. I’m sorry but I don’t think that you understood the question.

My CRM is telling me,

define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);

You are telling me to set it to false.

How are these the same thing?

Is there a work around or can you please explain what you mean?

Thank you.

Hi @deepcookieflavor

The problem is that my CRM/email-automation system requires me to have wp cron set to true.

I thought your CRM system was telling you to enable wp cron.

The following guides show how to trigger your WordPress Cron in a different way:
1. Hooking WP-Cron Into the System Task Scheduler
2. Replace the WordPress Cron with a Real Cron Job using cPanel

It is recommended to trigger wp-cron once every 5 or 10 minutes. A long interval is not recommended.

Hi @tonyrobbins

Thanks so much for your help! I’m no longer getting the warning message. Now just waiting to see if I set up the external cron correctly. ??

Thanks again.

Hi @deepcookieflavor

It’s a pleasure. Thanks for your update!

I got the same issue. Due to server/load problems, and also due to a tip from your support, I disabled cron-jobs and did what you said in your links above. set time at every 5 min.

now after 2 hours and refreshes still: “In order to execute the scheduled backups properly, please set the DISABLE_WP_CRON constant to false.” what can be done?
