 * Hi
   I’m setting up cron for the first time.I’m having trouble setting it up because
   I don’t have the option to select the event type when I create a cron. I should
   have the option to enter my code, but I don’t have that when I can’t choose the
   event type.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadding-cron-event%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * If you take a look through the plugin FAQ there’s a few answers in there about
   this. It’s most likely that your site is configured to disallow file editing,
   therefore WP Crontrol disallows creating and editing PHP cron events.

 * I’ve read all the FAQs, but I’m still not sure how to do it?
   Can someone help
   me here?
