Setting up the Cron on cpanel for this plugin

Hello hello!

Thank you for your enquiry.

Currently, plugin does not allow server cron to be easily setup, but I am sure we can find a work around… =)

The function that cron runs is available in TW_Cron class and is called ‘tweet_task’. I believe if you created a PHP file that has these two lines of code inside, it would work without any issues!

define( 'DOING_WP_CRON', true );
TW_Cron()->tweet_task();

Let me know if it works. I am really curious!

Would I place this file in the root of the plugin folder for Tweet Wheel (or does it matter??) and then call it with a standard cron command in cpanel like:

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null https://www.mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/tweet-wheel/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

Let me prep a file for you, which will do all you need. You will have to upload to your FTP server and call with CRON ?? Making your life easier! Bear with me.

Alright, here its =)

Follow this link to download a prepared file https://www.filedropper.com/tweet-wheel-cron

Instructions are inside. Hope it makes sense!

@nerdcow that is the kind of support I love, when someone is looking to make life easier. I have done this now. However at the top of each page I still get this message “Tweet Wheel needs WP Cron to be enabled!” and when I click “I know, dont bug me” it still comes back each time.

Hi,

I can confirm this is a bug within the plugin. I will be releasing an update soon.

Just to confirm that I released 0.5.3 version that fixes the cron notification error for you. Please update and enjoy! ??

Marking as resolved. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks @nerdcow
