    No body can help?

    Hi I have the same problem, because my server carry maybe 50 wordpress installations, the automatic updates for plugins and wordpress is run via Cron, and it is making my server load extremely high, even freeze and need a hard reboot at times…

    My server support told me that was the problem, but they would not help me solve it since thats not part of the support service!

    Is it really not possible to kill og disable these cron jobs? I am no wizard so I thought I would ask in here…

    Regards Mysik

    Edit wp-config.php & add the line

    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

    For the above to work you need to incorporate the line:

    define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

    somewhere between the lines 30 and 40 in wp-config.php, otherwise it won’t have any effect.

    Thanks for that code, cubecolour – and for the directions on where to properly paste it, TJ02.

    I have been trying to solve this puzzle for days. I don’t think I had the issue because of WP-Cron. But apparently I had installed some plugin that left something around. Because I have a dozen wordpress sites on the same server and I was only experiencing this issue with one site.

    Thanks again for helping us sort out why my wordpress URL sometimes appends /?doing_wp_cron=
