Warning! wp-cron.php not found!

  • Getting the error:

    Warning! wp-cron.php not found!
    Unfortunately, WordPress cannot find the file wp-cron.php. This script is required for the correct operation of garbage collection by this plugin, WordPress scheduled posts as well as other critical activities.
    Please see entry 16 in the Troubleshooting section of the readme.txt

    According to this thread the answer to this is to:

    …adding an line into /etc/hosts file, just add a dns record into this file, like:
    127.0.0.1 your.domain.com

    However this particular website is virtually identical to another site I run which is not having this problem. Both sites DigitalOcean VPS droplets, that were setup and configured by ServerPilot.io. The backend of these sites should be identical.

    The problem site was cloned over to the new hosting whereas the non-problem site was not.

    So my question is:

    Is there another reason why wp-cron.php might not be found by WP Super Cache? (eg: .htaccess related?)

    And yes I CAN see the wp-cron.php file sitting there in the WordPress folder on my server.

  • Same Problem…

    I sent an email to my hosting, and they delete a “security -i dont know what-” and now it works ??

    Hello,

    I have the same problem when I transfered my website from development domain to production domain (on the same server).

    My wordpress installation doesn’t find the wp-cron.php whereas it really exists !

    I have a server with virtual hosts and in etc/hosts/, there isn’t the production domain, only localhost and the development domain.

    I activated WP Super Cache plugin, my site is working correctly, I have pages in wp-content/cache/supercache/my-domain.com/ but I still have this wp-cron.php problem…

    Please help !

    Hi,

    Update the cache_path on wp-cache-config.php stored on wp-content folder
    It worked for me.

    Cheers!
