 * I am getting this error message, even when I troubleshoot the website and only
   have this plugin enabled:
 * There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This 
   means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was:
 * **Unexpected HTTP response code: 429**
 * I also added a PHP cron event:
 * file_get_contents(“https://allknoxswim.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpamelia_api&
   call=/notifications/scheduled/send”);>
 * Which is giving me this error code:
 * Line 1: Unclosed ‘(‘

 * You’ll need to speak to your web host about this. See [https://wp-crontrol.com/help/problems-spawning-wp-cron/](https://wp-crontrol.com/help/problems-spawning-wp-cron/)
   for more details.
 * As for the PHP cron event, that means you’ve got a syntax error in your PHP code.
   You might want to use [a URL cron event](https://wp-crontrol.com/docs/url-cron-events/)
   instead.

 * Okay, I added the url instead of a PHP cron, hope that works.
 * My hosting had no idea what to do with the error code. Any other ideas?
