Thank you!

Also, since these are news items, frequently changing, is there a way to put a time stamp that displays on each tick?

I got the issue fixed, Wayne.

Went into wp-config.php and added this line:

DEFINE(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, TRUE);

So now I”m using an “alternate” wp-cron which I guess works!

Thanks, William

OK, Wayne.

Yes, I suspected it’s in WP-Chron. No other scheduled function works either. I did get the plugin WP-Chron Events, ran it and it shows:

There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was:
cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 3001 milliseconds

I’ve seen different potential fixes for cURL error 28. What would you suggest, on a Google Cloud account? (Hosting support is limited!)

This cropped up after we changed hosting platforms to Google Cloud. Could that be a factor?

Tried it, Wayne, more than a few times. Always get a blank white screen.

Same problem here. Exported a small one page site from Bluehost to InMotion and changed the domain. Export went well until a dialog box asked if I wanted to write over existing database. Since the receiving site was fresh with no real content, I clicked yes. Then continued for more than half an hour with “Restoring Database.” Believe me, there’s nothing big in the database. By then, the browser was frozen and I had to close it. After that, I could no longer log in. The nice WP UI login screen was gone, replaced by a generic login on the left side of the screen that did not work with correct username and PW, returning 500 error. Been that way ever since.

I’ve looked at potential remedies on the WP support forums, and none seems to work for me. Please help. I must get this up and running in a few days.

Many thanks
