HTTP response code: 403

same here

on WPEngine hosting and using this code to scrape a URL:

$url = ‘https://pinnacleforum.us/?pinnacle_sync’;
$username = ‘pinnacleforum’;
$password = ‘YOUR_PASSWORD’;
$headers = array( ‘Authorization’ => ‘Basic ‘ . base64_encode( “$username:$password” ) );
$result = wp_remote_get( $url, array( ‘headers’ => $headers ) );

With the correct password obviously

As per the sticky thread in this forum, I’m unable to provide support for problems with WP-Cron itself.

You should post a support thread to the main WordPress support forum instead, where your issue is much more likely to be seen and replied to.
