Trigger cronjob manually

Hi enkirch,

I’m not aware of the plugin or why it might not be kicking it off. I can test it out a bit and see if I can see something though. Are you using the premium option? Also, I am assuming this is with the scheduled optimization option, yes?

Hi,

im not using the premium option, and yes the scheduled optimization.

the event is called “ewww_image_optimizer_auto” in the plugin where it lists all cronjobs.

OK, so, the first thing I have to comment about is that you’re having a third party plugin try and do something that the plugin already does and that the point of scheduled optimization is specifically so you don’t have to do it manually. Scheduled optimization will run once an hour (and no, unfortunately, you can’t increase the time that it runs) and if you want to run an optimization manually, you can do that with the bulk optimizer.

Putting that aside, though, as for why it isn’t doing anything when you manually try to run it is that Scheduled Optimization only runs on theme files, buddypress, and additional folders you specify in the “Folders to Optimize” section. So, if you add your uploads folder or anything else there, it will then run through everything you want.
