CRON Jobs Don’t Run

    The type of hosting I have from my hosting provider (GoDaddy, Managed WordPress hosting) disables CRON jobs from running. I have confirmed this verbally with GoDaddy.

    As an example, the CRON job HOOK: rank_math/content-ai/update_prompts ACTION: RankMath\ContentAI\Event_Scheduler->update_prompts_data() which is scheduled to run daily has never run.

    Is there an alternative to using CRON jobs so I can ensure this runs? Thank you.

    Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with CRON jobs not running on your GoDaddy Managed WordPress hosting. Since your hosting provider disables CRON jobs, you can consider configuring Server CRON to trigger WP-Cron as an alternative. This setup allows scheduled tasks to run more reliably, especially if your site has low traffic.

    Here’s a brief overview of how you can set this up:

    1. Contact your hosting provider: Ask them to set up a server-side CRON job that triggers the WP-Cron. This typically involves setting a CRON job to hit the following URL at regular intervals:

      `https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=action-scheduler&status=pending

      Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain.

    2. Check Scheduled Actions: You can also check the status of scheduled actions in your WordPress dashboard under Tools → Scheduled Actions → Pending. This will help you see if any actions are pending and allow you to run them manually if needed.

    3. Use WP Crontrol Plugin: Consider installing the WP Crontrol plugin to manage and monitor your CRON events more effectively. This plugin allows you to view and control CRON events directly from your WordPress dashboard.

    If you need further assistance or if there are specific actions that are not running, please reply to this ticket with your site URL, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for raising this concern!
