Cron Jobs Not Issues

The plugin works great yes.

The issue:
I had an issue with cron jobs and scheduled tasks not working on my install for quite a while.
My posts always missed and scheduled backups and scans were also not running. There were many reports and errors about cron jobs not working……

The Culprit:
After a long troubleshooting session I was able to isolate WP Hide & Security Enhancer as the cause. I also took time to pinpoint the specific setting that caused my cron jobs not running.

The cause was this setting —- > Block other wp-*.php files — Seems that blocking the wp-cron.php file prevented cron jobs from running

It’s located here in the admin: WP Hide — > Rewrite — > Root Files

The solution:
Disabling “Block other wp-*.php files” by switching it to no was the only solution that worked fine (at least for me).

Posted here for others experiencing similar cron jobs not running issues with this plugin.

@nsp-code Kindly look into this.

I would have recommended that there are separate settings for each files listed under “Block other wp-*.php files” so it gives users more control,

but seeing the sheer number of files that setting blocks means there would be too many switches to toggle.

Thanks again @nsp-code.

Regards
Ike.
