I’m afraid that our tasks scheduler is incompatible with SiteGround. * You will want to change this setting to **Visitors to your website (recommended)**. That should sort it. You can see more details about this issue here: * [https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/131-hosts-which-mailpoet-task-scheduler-wont-work](https://kb.mailpoet.com/article/131-hosts-which-mailpoet-task-scheduler-wont-work) * I hope this helps! * [Bakari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/) * (@bakari45) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crom/#post-14976495) * I’m experiencing a similar problem with the SiteGround. I’m experiencing MySQL database limit issues because of MailPoet. I’ve had the sever side cron (Linux cron) scheduler selected for months, but now all of a sudden I’m experiencing the MySQL database limit issues. * So I’m wondering if MailPoet is not a good plugin for SiteGround users? * Plugin Support [Gui A. a11n](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guicmazeredo/) * (@guicmazeredo) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crom/#post-14977800) * If you are using **Server side cron (Linux)** and you are still experiencing issues, I’d give the following things a try: * – Reduce the frequency of which your cron job triggers MailPoet Task Scheduler – If the issue persists, try switching your _Newsletter task scheduler (cron)_ to **Visitors to your website**. * Hopefully, one of these things will do it. Let us know! * [Bakari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/) * (@bakari45) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crom/#post-14977937) * Hi, thank you for replying. I went to on SiteGround to see about editing the Cron Job. Right now it’s set to Once Per Hour (0****), so I switched it to Once Per Day (00***). Or should I switch it to Once Per Week? (by the way, in MailPoet Advance settings, it says “frequency running every minute: *1***” Not sure why it says something different in the settings than what I set in SiteGround. * I’m not sure why this is happening all of the sudden. I’ve had MailPoet for like two years now, and for the last few months I haven’t sent out emails using the system. * I’m wondering if I should try to moving my site to another server, like Plesk/ Rootpal. I don’t want to use another email service. I like MailPoet. - This reply was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by [Bakari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by [Bakari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 7 months ago by [Bakari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/). * [Elvira K.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/treibalen/) * (@treibalen) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crom/#post-15004397) * Hi there, * [@bakari45](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/) I see that we’re working with you via a ticket and your issue is not related to Cron. * [@possum66](https://wordpress.org/support/users/possum66/) Can you please let me know if changing the Cron option helped? * [Bakari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/) * (@bakari45) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crom/#post-15005134) * [@treibalen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/treibalen/), it appears that the issue was caused by WPReset backing up data files were not being deleted. So I had a lot of MailPoet data files get backed up on my server. The tech person I hired to fix * This is what he wrote about MailPoet: * > `The new database size was 182.2 MiB and I managed to reduce it to 167.1 MiB > > The database size depends on your content and it is not critical anymore.

I will say Mailpoet tables > are the 3 biggest ones, but that can be easily solved by removing the newsletters > you do not need anymore.` * It seems that I can still use MailPoet, but I need to watch how it’s contributing to the database size. I’ll keep the cron settings in there to see if it helps. * Thanks for getting back with me. * [Elvira K.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/treibalen/) * (@treibalen) * [4 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/crom/#post-15012168) * Hi there [@bakari45](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bakari45/), * > Some improvements can be made by removing unneeded tables. * If there are any MailPoet tables’ backups created by WPReset that are overloading your database, please remove them and disable this functionality for MailPoet tables. * Please reach out to your tech person or WPReset support to do that as it’s not something within the scope of our support. * In any case, I’m glad that you found a root cause. * Enjoy the rest of your day and stay safe!
