Question about cron

    In the advanced section, it shows you what command to enter for server side cron.
    This is what it tells me:

    php /home/website/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailpoet/mailpoet-cron.php /home/website/public_html/

    Why is ‘/home/website/public_html/” repeated at the end?

    Thanks

    Btw, is that command even necessary if i already have the command for running wp-cron server side setup?

    Hi Sam,

    That part is indeed important. ??

    That is there for the script to find the WordPress installation folder. The script then uses it to get all the necessary stuff from there (like database credentials, and so on).

    From our testing, you would still need it if wp-cron is setup server side, as our task scheduler is custom and doesn’t use wp-cron in any way.

    Thanks!
