Setting up CRON job via URL

You should create a PHP cron job. At the bottom of the Tools -> Crontrol screen, click “Add new PHP event”.

In the “Hook code” box you should enter some PHP which will fetch the URL. An example might be:

wp_remote_get( 'https://mysite.com/subdirectory1/subdirectory2/myfile.php' );

This should be all you need.

Same problem, but that solution did not work for me… Maybe it’s a permissions issue with the file or something? I’m trying to run export-comments.php (in the Disqus plugin’s scripts folder).

Is there any other way to call a file? I’m sorry, I’m just pretty new and terrible at this…

Does this method still stand? Was working fine a few months ago when I was doing it. Now, I hit the “run now” option to test it out on a new site and nothing. It does report that the script was executed successfully. Any thoughts?

I also faced the “problem” the php file was not executed.
Solution: Make it executable!
