Cron jobs not updating posts as intended

  • Hello,

    I have disabled my system cron jobs from wp-config.php and have tried running them from plugins such as Get URL Cron, or external services such as cron-job.org without any luck. The only way to get the updates for my posts is to manually press the command Run Campaign from within the admin of my WordPress plugin WP-Automatic which I have purchased recently. I am not that knowledgeable about this functionality or how it should work properly. That is why I am asking here. How can I run those cron jobs automatically without this manual intervention?

  • I guess you don’t mean the system crons you disabled but the WP crons. Instead you want to use system crons. Right?

    What URL do you have stored at cron-job.org that should be called there? It should be wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron. Have a look at the article here: https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/disable-wp-cron/

    Yes I meant disabling wp-cron.php and using other tools instead to run the cron jobs. I am running the following command from cron-job.org or Get Url Cron but neither of them updates the posts unless I press “Run Campaign” manually from within wordpress admin

    curl https://alnassr-fclub.com/?wp_automatic=cron

    This is the wrong URL. See my example above. For you, this would be correct: 

    https://alnassr-fclub.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

    Have no idea what ?wp_automatic=cron is supposed to be, maybe it comes from one of the plugins you use. Then you would have to contact their support forum to clarify.
