 * This means either your user account or your WordPress installation doesn’t have
   permission to edit files, and this prevents you from being able to create or 
   edit PHP cron events.
 * Take a look through the FAQ for all the details, there’s several answers there
   with all the information.
 * P.S. I’m going to make this clearer in the next version of WP Crontrol because
   you’re not the first person to ask about this.

 * ​For others that may have the same problem: 
 * My issue was that my security plugin had disallowed file editing, which as a 
   result hid that “PHP cron event” option selection in WP Crontrol. I had to uncheck“
   Disable File Editor” in iThemes Security. ​
