Cron job seeing 500 error

  • Recently the cron job has been showing a 500 error even though if I go to the cron job url in my browser (Chrome) it is just showing the expected text.

    If I use curl -i to access the cron job url the result is:

    HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

    Any idea why this might be occurring?

    It’s frustrating as the cron provider I’m using disables the cron job after a number of failed attempts.

  • Hello,
    Maybe a problem with the .htaccess file.

    You are using CloudFlare, maybe its help to turn the “Development Mode” on. (No Caching)
    CloudFlare -> your domain -> Caching -> Development Mode

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    It appears to have no different result with Development Mode enabled.

    However there is a php error in the log which may have something to do with it?

    Any news on this?

    Do you have any plugins that (auto) delete posts?

    Thread Starter Jeff Cole

    (@upekshapriya)

    Nothing obvious that deletes posts – the site is quite a minimal static site at the moment.

    Jeff: I am willing to take a look (for free of course), but I need SSH or FTP credentials for that. You can sent them via my SSL encrypted site: https://www.mijnpress.nl/contact-opnemen/

    Its the fault of the “cloudflare” plugin. For some reason it does not recognise

    I have added $wp_rewrite = new wp_rewrite; as per

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34402687/wp-rewrite-returning-null-in-plugin-settings-page

    and now your response is 200 OK instead of 500 Error.

    I will take a further look in a test environment.

    Thanks for looking into this. Sorry I didn’t see your message – I was expecting an email!

    Something strange is happening now – the information that normally appears above the columns is not showing – even though it is visible in the source code for the plugin page.
