System Cron problem

Hi @samtech456 do you have define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); in your wp-config.php? This is used to disable the WP cron from running in normal browser requests: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/hooking-wp-cron-into-the-system-task-scheduler/

It is also how Matomo for WordPress runs this particular check.

Also in the cron tab, can you make sure there is a space after 0 0 * * *?

@samtech456 You need to add define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); as it says in the WordPress docs I linked to. This disables launching WP Cron through the browser.

@samtech456 can you post a screenshot of the warning? You will have to upload the image to another site and link it here.

@samtech456 Did you add the define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); to your wp-config.php before the point where it says to stop editing?

The code that checks whether to display the warning is just $is_system_cron_set_up = defined( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON' ) && DISABLE_WP_CRON;. If you have the const defined in wp-config.php, I’m unsure why that would fail. Can you copy and post the entire system report here (or email to dizzy (at) inncoraft (dot) com)?

@samtech456 apologies, typo, the email is dizzy (at) innocraft (dot) com
