I finally got MailPoet’s task scheduler working by turning off Cloudflare’s aggressive “Super Bot Fight Mode.” All seems to be working now.

Thanks to all who helped along the way. I love this community.

Thanks Bruna. Makes sense now ??

I tried MailPoet’s own script but to no avail. Nevertheless, that is what I needed to continue the conversation with Cloudflare’s engineer.

Stand by…

Cloudflare confirms that their firewall is blocking the cron job. However, it is not as simple as creating a firewall rule to let it through.

I identified one of their rules that might be the culprit: Ruleset Name = Bot Fight Mode for Definite Bots. They confirmed that this was the problem, and then asked me the following.

There you go. And that one’s tough to set up a bypass for. You could try adding your server’s IP address to Firewall → Tools as an Allow, but it’s best to run such functions locally.

How is your Task Scheduler configured? Visitors to your Site should be sufficient, as that’s how the rest of wp-cron runs.

Unfortunately, I don’t understand the question or know how to answer it. How is Task Scheduler configured? And what does he mean when he says, “Visitors to your Site should be sufficient”?

This is helpful. I’ll open a ticket with Cloudflare and see if they can figure it out from there end.

Done. Still no luck.

The Bypass Firewall Rule allowed me to pick any combination of 7 parameters:
* Hotline Protection
* Security Level
* Rate Limiting
* WAF Management Rules
* User Agent Blocking
* Browser Integrity Check
* Zone Lockdown

I enabled all of them. The Task Scheduler still can’t connect and I still get the Cloudflare “Please wait while we check your browser page.”

I also tried setting the Field to URI Full rather than URI Query String with both the Allow and Bypass options. Still no luck.

Thanks Bruna: Here is a screen shot of the CloudFlare firewall rule. Its a URI Query String equal to the URL that I got from System Status that reported the task scheduler was not connecting. Cloudflare shows the rule as active.

Seems to be resulted with the release of 2.11.3 of PublishPress Blocks.

Thanks for everything.

It looks like it is fixed.

I created a new post and was able to add blocks or “toggle block inserter” without an error.

I love the WordPress community.

Thanks for the awesome video. it makes sense to me, but I’m just an end-user who missed her calling as a developer (Fortran and Pascal were the languages de jour when I was making my way through college ??)

I hope that @htmgarcia finds it useful. I am standing by for end-user testing any time.

I’m using the free version of Events Calendar.

Hmmmm. Good exercise. I went through and tested all of my other plugins. It looks like PublishPress is conflicting with The Events Calendar (or vice versa). When both of those plugins are active, I get the error described above.

There is no error when either PublishPress Blocks or The Events Calendar is deactivated.

My site uses Beaver Builder. Could that be related?

I also use Admin Columns Pro.

I don’t think any of the other plugins add blocks to Gutenberg.

Same problem here.

Update: I just went into WooCommerce settings, disconnected from Square, and then reconnected. It seems to be working now.

Most excellent. Thank you!

And what a treat to discover that you can actually choose between dozens of color themes. Nice!
