Yes, thank you. Not sure why it always takes me so long to find it. Now I’ve bookmarked it. But it would still be nice to have the info readily available like it is for every other update in WP.

The site is http://www.thegermanprofessor.com. I currently have it set up as a blog only.

For the main site pages, I’d like to get rid of the right sidebar and have all of the static content available via the top menu bar with an additional link on the top menu bar to the blog.

The blog link would load the blog posts and include the right sidebar showing the most recent posts, like it currently does.

Is it possible to do both things with only one WP installation?

I feel your pain, WayneM1. I spent way too many hours trying to fix my broken cron until I finally found some code that would work when entered in the command line in the cron jobs in my cPanel. I only have a vague idea about how wordpress and php work. I learned several programming languages back in the day, but it’s been a while and I’ve never worked with php. The 3.7.1 update has broken something and I just don’t know what. Among the things I tried were a WP reinstall, but that didn’t fix the problem.

Thanks for the info — about the updates and and about the wp-config.php. I had actually picked up the wp-config tidbit while surfing around for answers. The idea of auto updates is not nice considering what this last update did. It’s good to know there is still a way around them!

I posted a few days ago, or so I thought, that I had implemented the fix that you describe in your last post. I, too, have Bluehost.

The only version of the command that would work for me is the following:
GET http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron

If I add parameters or use anything but GET, it will not work. I have set it to run ever 15 minutes.

Interestingly enough, if I add
define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);
to the wp-config.php file, my fix will not work. So I left this out.

I don’t know whether what I’m doing is good practice or syntax. But it works. The cron is running again, though it does appear that a few of the scheduled tasks run more frequently than they need to. I’m not sure what to attribute this to.
