    Postie no longer automatically looks to check mail at its assigned email account. It DOES run if I do it manually from the settings page —?Actions —?Process Email. But I cannot get it to run on any schedule (Check for email every…)
    1—I deactivated all other plugins, no improvement
    2—I also tried your suggestions, without success in:
    https://postieplugin.com/faq/postie-checking-email/
    Stumped at this point and we need this to work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    If you set the Check for mail to every 30 seconds Enable Debug Logging to Yes then go to https://<mysite>/wp-cron.php in your browser you should see something. You may have to refresh the page a few times.

    Tried it, Wayne, more than a few times. Always get a blank white screen.

    This cropped up after we changed hosting platforms to Google Cloud. Could that be a factor?

    Is Enable Debug Logging set to Yes? If so you should always get some output.

    >we changed hosting platforms to Google Cloud

    Not that I’ve heard of.

    Since running manually works, it definitely sounds like something in wp-cron isn’t happy.

    OK, Wayne.

    Yes, I suspected it’s in WP-Chron. No other scheduled function works either. I did get the plugin WP-Chron Events, ran it and it shows:

    There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was:
    cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 3001 milliseconds

    I’ve seen different potential fixes for cURL error 28. What would you suggest, on a Google Cloud account? (Hosting support is limited!)

    I got the issue fixed, Wayne.

    Went into wp-config.php and added this line:

    DEFINE(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, TRUE);

    So now I”m using an “alternate” wp-cron which I guess works!

    Thanks, William
