Breaks WP Cron

Hi lazyym,

This isn’t normal, can you tell me if you were seeing wp-cron.php showing up in your logs on proxycheck.io, or how you concluded that wp-cron is being blocked by the plugin if it isn’t showing up in the logs there?

I will also publish an update that contains some updated code for this wp-cron and a unrelated (but shares the same part of code) fix for people using matomo analytics plugin which may have also been blocked when requests are coming from the servers own IP address. It is possible that this is also your issue and the servers own IP address is being caught up in the check.

Thank you,

I am not seeing wp-cron in logs. My developer is debugging on my site. I’ll give you an update when I have it. Thank you for quick response.

The fix for this for me included two things. One is adding

define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);

to wp-config.php and adding a function of

add_filter( ‘action_scheduler_pastdue_actions_check_pre’, ‘__return_false’ );

to functions.php

All seems well now even with the plugin back on.

And that fix ended up breaking other things….. Advise against it.

Ended up being related to SSL affecting the cron.

Hello,

May I ask if the original issue is resolved? If I understand your replies, It seems to have been issues with your site/SSL and the plugin is functioning now?

The issue is resolved and was not the plugins fault. It is working great for us now after defining rules with proxycheck service. Thank you!
