Cron job doesnt run and duplicate job is created

  • I created a new PHP Cron Event (on a twice daily schedule) in a brand new website I am building. Using the latest version of WP and WP Crontrol. When I click run now it creates a duplicate non-repeating cron event dated 1970-01-01 00:00:01 and it doesn’t actually run the original event either. I have created this event (with the same PHP script) on 10 other websites and I’ve never seen it do this before.

    Anyone know why its doing this, or how to fix it?

    Are your other cron events running properly? This is a sign that your cron runner isn’t operating correctly.

    Are your other events missing their scheduled times?

    Just tried run now on wp_version_check and it also made a duplicate job dated 1970-01-01 00:00:01.
