Can you disable the power-up to allow Autoptimize, which as from version 2.7.0 has all critical CSS functionality included, to take over gphoenix5727 ? Let me know if that does not kick things back in motion!
kind regards,

I should have said that I’m not using Power-Up but CCSS directly in AO. The cron appears to be working normally, it is being called but not doing anything. The job queue remains unprocessed with no rules being created. It was working fine before, but clealry I have either changed something or something has happened. The site is so much faster with AO and CCSS, I need to resolve this.
Many thanks

I have just seen that there is a message at the top of the AO screen:
“It looks like there might be a problem with WordPress cron (task scheduling). Have a look at the FAQ or the info in the Job Queue instructions if all jobs remain in “N” status and no rules are created.

I’ve tried setting: “define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);” in WP-CONFIG.PHP, there seems to be no change.
can you check if there is a stale queue.lock file in wp-content/uploads/ao_ccss/ and if so delete that?
(to be clear; even if the queue is not processed your existing rules will remain active and critical CSS will be used, the only impact would be new pages not having critical CSS yet and CCSS not updating when CSS changes)

I have shifted the fiiring of Cron to my server with: “wget -qO- https://satpurusha.com/wp-cron.php &> /dev/null” running every 5 minutes. Seems to be no change. Job Queue growing and no rules.

Deleted queue.lock. I understand but I am doing a lot of cganges to files and css at the moment so I need things pretty up to date. I removed the existing rules to reset the CCSS but now there are none…
