WP Offload SES – Cron not running – HOW OFTEN ARE THEY SENT ?

Hi there!

WP Offload SES Support Team here, Thanks for reaching out with your query we would be happy to assist

If you’re receiving the emails from the site and things don’t seem to be stuck in a queue, you can just disable the “Cron not running” notifications.

You can do that by adding the following filter to your theme’s functions.php or in a custom plugin:

add_filter( 'wposes_send_cron_error_email', '__return_false' );

This issue usually arises from multisites. If you have a multisite, it could explain the notification.

If you don’t have a multisite and everything seems to be running correctly, then there might be a problem with the cron check that Offload SES is running. You can check your PHP error logs for anything relevant to this. Otherwise, you can just disable the Cron not running notifications.

Thank you, it’s not a multisite and I would prefer to avoid blocking any notification.

I will report if I find any other reason.

Hi @catvetbeb,

Thank you for letting us know. Please get in touch if you get more info about this.

By the way, when I visit

/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wp-offload-ses#support

I can see:

WP Cron: Disabled
Alternate WP Cron: Disabled

Is it usual that your plugin cannot detect when cron jobs are started by server directly ?

I protect my websites with cloudflare, could it be the reason ?

Thanks again.

Hi @catvetbeb,

It is difficult to tell without much information, but it is possible that our plugin checks is not working correctly.
