 * Greetings. I’m attempting to implement a [GPT AI plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gpt3-ai-content-generator/),
   specifically the Auto Content Writer feature of the plugin. I’m being stymied
   by the Crontab requirement. My site is running on a bitnami WP instance hosted
   on AWS. I’ve followed the instructions outlined here: [How to Add Cron Job – GPT AI Power](https://gptaipower.com/how-to-add-cron-job/),
   added the prerequisite entry “**\* \* \* \* \* php /bitnami/wordpress/wp-content/
   plugins/gpt3-ai-content-generator/wpaicg_cron_job_generator.php**”, confirmed
   the path, listed the cron jobs with crontab -l, implemented a patch the developer
   suggested, but the GPT3 Bulk Editor screen still reports I need to configure 
   the cron job.
   To the question, there’s been mention of using your [Cronjob Scheduler](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cronjob-scheduler/#description)
   to implement the cron job. Can you provide any insights on how I might use the
   required entry listed above using you plugin?
 * Thank you in advance.
