All the cron jobs in the past..

    Hello

    Recently we had issues with cronjob and installed this plugin. Great to see everything in the dashboard.

    So first off all, I’m really low level on the subject so be nice ??

    Our wordpress crons are set true in the server side, due to resource issues. And we manually added real crons from the cpanel as below,

    0,30	*	*	*	*	cd /home/xxxx/public_html; /usr/local/bin/php -q wp-cron.php

21	3	9	*	*	/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php "/usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/softaculous"/cli.php --backup --auto=1 --insid=10101_13660

30	*	*	*	*	cd /home/xxx/public_html; /usr/local/bin/php -q wp-cron.php

    All of the cron jobs listed in the crontrol dashboard are in the past. When I click run now, it doesn’t update the date. I read in one of the support reply that it is normal.

    My questions;

    1 – Do I have to manually run those crons from crontrol because we disabled wp cron from the cpanel?

    2- Although we don’t schedule posts for future publication, there are many publish_future_post hook and they increase in bulk in time..Is it normal to see this? Should I delete those crons when they appear?

    Thank you for the help! Great plugin btw.

    If the events are showing as in the past then that means your cron events are not being triggered directly and are not running. There must be a problem with the way you’re calling wp-cron.php. You’ll need to ensure it’s a POST request for a start. Lots of info online about how set that up.

    Hi John

    Thank you for your reply.

    I have searched a lot in the web, but can’t find much of our issue.

    Could you explain the way we are calling the cron wrong and post request for a start?
