    Hello,

    when opening WP Super Cache’s admin section, I always get the following message:

    CRON system disabled

    The WordPress CRON job system is disabled. This means that
    the garbage collection system will not work until you run the
    CRON system manually.

    However, there is definitively a CRON job up and running and garbage collection also works.

    So this is just a cosmetic issue… but how can I get rid off this warning?

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your help and comments.

  • That’s weird. That message only shows if the constant “DISABLE_WP_CRON” is defined, which does disable the cron system. Do you have it running in some other way?

    If it is working ok, then edit wp-content/wp-cache-config.php and change $wp_cache_cron_check = 0; to $wp_cache_cron_check = 1; and that will disable the checks.

    DISABLE_WP_CRON is defined. I’m using a CRON job of my own.

    However, I do so on multiple websites the same way. But the warning message pops up only on that specific website, not on the others which are configured the same way. So that’s why I wonder about.

    Could the used theme make an influence there? I originally used a different one on that specific site, but it became replaced for a while by a new modern theme.

    Anyway, thanks very much for your hint. I’ll alter configuration as you advised. ??
