 * Hi guys,
 * My plugins already installed and configured good. I have a problem my crontab
   only is called when somebody to do a request on my website. If nobody to access
   the website the crontab doesn’t work. Does somebody already have the same problem
   with this plugin?

 * Sorry you’re having problems. This is how the cron system in WordPress works,
   it’s not related to the WP Crontrol plugin.
 * You should speak with your host about the problem. Most hosts provide an alternative
   method of running cron that doesn’t rely on visitors to your site.
