    I am using M.E. Calendar for managing events. It has a reminder function that emails notices. M.E. Calendar documentation advises “Set a cronjob to call the file once per hour (yourwebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/modern-events-calendar/app/crons/booking-reminder.php)”

    I added a “New Cron Event” through WP Crontrol, using “Standard cron event” and “Once Hourly“

    I entered the full path “wp-content/plugins/modern-events-calendar/app/crons/booking-reminder.php” into the “Hook name”

    Although the cron appears in the “Cron events” list and seems to be running, the M.E. Calendar notices are not being sent.

    I am not convinced I have configured WP Crontrol correctly.

    Also, I am unsure as to the meaning of ” ! None” in the “Action” column

    I would appreciate any comments

    No this is not correct, using a file name as a hook name doesn’t do what you want it to do.

    You should add a “URL cron event” and enter the URL that the plugin suggests. In addition, you should complain to the author of the plugin about this manual step. The plugin should handle it via a cron event.

    Thank you John. I have not been able to get the cron job working using a URL either

    I will reach out to the M.E. Calendar support to see if I can obtain more detail

    my cron seems to be running every hour (there is no ” ! None” ) however I am not seeing any output

    Are there any other reports within WP Crontrol to check?
