cURL error 7

    Feeds would not import, and I’m suspecting it has to do with an error I get on the WP-Cron events page:

    There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was:
    cURL error 7: Failed to connect to localhost port 8080: Connection refused

    I checked out this page (https://docs.wprssaggregator.com/cron-intervals/), and as it mentions, all my cron jobs seem to be stuck, as they have the (now) near each Next Run schedule.

    How can I solve this?

  • Hi @yoavxyoav,

    For stuck cron issue, we have two pages in our documentation that suggest ways of handling this problem. We have some tips on this page that generally solve the problem, and another workaround is available on this page.

    Since it seems that you are running this on your localhost, you might want to check your localhost setup and please make sure that your WP-Cron is running. Depends on what localhost setup you are using, you can check its related documentation regarding how to run WP-Cron properly.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Eric, thanks for your reply. I have tried the documentation, at least the part that does not require setup a separate Cron server, so far no success.

    I should have mentioned that my site is set up in a XAMPP virtual machine, so it’s actually not on localhost but being forwarded thorugh port 8080 to the machine’s localhost. Have you ever came across problems with such a setup?

    Thanks

    Hi @yoavxyoav,

    Unfortunately, we don’t have any experiences with such a setup.

    Please try to look for in XAMPP forum or such on how to run or set up a cron properly with how the way you set your local development.

    Alternatively, you can try another local development setup such as the one listed here:
