Hey everyone!

I have a strange problem, (I am a newbie.. I guess everything is strange).

Anyways, when I run https://www.mysite.com/wp-mail.php… I have no problems. Returns either I have posts or none.

BUT, when I run a cron job. I get this:

/home/nickandj/public_html/wp-mail.php: line 1: ?php: No such file or directory

/home/nickandj/public_html/wp-mail.php: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token dirname'

/home/nickandj/public_html/wp-mail.php: line 2:
require(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-config.php’);’

I am not sure if its something to do with the file or my server accessing it.

Has anyone else had this problem? or could someone point me in the right direction? I would rather have the server check for me, instead of having to run the script manually everytime.

Thanks for any help!
Nick

What the error is saying is that there is no wp-mail.php file in the root directory of your site. Is there one there? If you gave us the real URL to your site, it would help us to properly troubleshoot your problem.

Try this plugin: https://www.skippy.net/blog/category/wordpress/plugins/wp-cron/

I have that plug-in(as back-up), but I was hoping to get the Cron job working through the server. So that it is more reliable.

Apparently that plug isnt 100% from what I gather.

I got it half working wth the Cron Job on the server, Thanks for the link, what I was forgetting was the ‘php’ in front of the command line.

Now it posts the tittle, but not the body of the text…any answers to this?

‘curl’ is the command line I had to use
