System Overload/Postie/Wp-Cron HELP!

    Wow. I’m not sure what to do. I am waiting for them to reactivate it. I use Postie and Wp-Cron to trigger Postie. However, I think my problem is it’s checking too often.

    I had it set to check every 30 minutes (I assume that’s what it’s doing.). This is too much for my host. I don’t know how to just make it check hourly besides change the 30 minutes (which was formerly 15 minutes) to 60.

    Wp-Cron claims that I’m supposed to have an option to have it check every 15 minutes or every hour. Where the hell is it?

    I know nothing about PHP everything I’ve learned is from mostly guessing, a little reading and next to no help. (because everyone I talked to looks at me like I’m stupid when I start talking about my problem.)

    I run a mobile blog to email from my hiptop. I learned about my webhosting is that they don’t offer cron jobs so there’s no way I can run them. (making this more frustrating.)

    I have managed to get WP-Cron to trigger Postie but it’s using too much of my CPU usage? I’m not sure what it all means. I just need some advice of what my next move should be? (and please don’t tell me to change my host. because that’s a consideration I’ve given but I want to give it every opportunity before I change.)

    Oh! and my host pretty much won’t tell me what exactly is making my system overload that I have to figure out it myself. I am just assuming it’s wp-cron. It’s AWESOME.

    I apologize for my rambling I’m just so frustrated and I’m about to pull my hair out because I am not a techie and I need help really badly.

    I was looking into Anhosting.com that is recommended on the wordpress site.

    But I’ve accepted I will paying close or up-to $100 a year to get what I want. I would have switched to blogger but I’ve become attached to my wordpress. I like everything about it. The layout. My content. My settings. The software(?)…I don’t like the idea of going through a site like that when I really just want it to work off my site!

    About 100Webspace, My boyfriend and I had the same host and we didn’t realise that we had a “free service” until they turned off our ability to send out emails. He just upgraded and I didn’t. Then all these problems started happening when I wanted a moblog. I OBVIOUSLY should have moved when they turned off the whole sending mails off!!!!!!! Isn’t that stupid?

    On the upside this has been a good challenge for my boredom. ??

    I didn’t know there was a postie and a cronless postie? can I get links for both?

    cheers
