• Does anyone know why this wp-cron file will be loading down my server enough for my hosting company to shut down the server because the server loads jump to over 40?

    I haven’t have any wp-cron files or plugins installed on my WP install in months.

    Please advise if anyone knows…

  • I kept track of Apache’s status using an apache-status page and noted the following:

    With 1 save, wp-cron.php is spawned twice, with two http requests that are persistent for over 30 seconds.

    With 2 saves, wp-cron.php is spawned eight times, but the requests are equally persistent as with 1 save.

    I am not sure, but I think this is due to the fact, that the WordPress installations call do_pings on every post save. This is a “core” feature, not a plugin-based one.

    WordPress 2.1 includes a wp-cron.php file in the root directory of the blog.
    but for now, the simplest fix is to have the wp-cron.php file there.
    The hints are very good, with great help. I’ll see to it Thank you.
