Not allowing Any Cron Jobs to Run

    Something in the security plugin is not allowing my cron jobs to run. It blocks them all. I have been using the plugin for years, but this problem started a few months ago when I changed some of my settings, although I cannot remember which settings I changed.

    Can you point me in the right direction as to what setting would black all of my cron jobs from running? It basically throws a 403 forbidden error whenever any of the cron jobs try and run.

    I believe the issue to be the 5G/6G firewall protection. I would like to keep this activated if possible, is there a work around for the 403 error it is causing?

    Well, I went and added these back and tested again, and now the cron jobs appear to be running properly? Maybe removing and re-adding changed something? Any help would be appreciated.

    Sorry to keep posting, but the cron jobs are still not running properly unless I completely deactivate AIOWSF plugin. Please help!

    I believe I have finally run this issue down. It appears to be a combination of the filesystem security in that unchecking the “Disable Ability to Edit PHP Files:”, along with unchecking the firewall 5G and 6G options was the fix. When unchecking one or the other, it would work sporadically, but unchecking them all seems to have corrected the issues.

    I would like to use these options, so maybe you could look into this bug and correct it? Thanks and love your plugin.

    Problem is back again. I can’t get the cron jobs to run consistently without deactivating this plugin.

    Hi,

    Can you try adding the following to you your wp-config. php;
    define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);

    So far this appears to have worked. I will keep you posted. Thanks for the help. I now get this message when I force any cron jobs to run.

    The ALTERNATE_WP_CRON constant is set to true.

    Hi,

    This message is just for your information, it’s nothing to worry about.
    I have a site on a litespeed server which requires the alternate cron and I also get this message.
