Thanks Amjad, that all looks good, then. I was mainly concerned that the contact form works as it is an important part of getting business.
I’ll be deleting the screen grabs from my second post in a day or two.
OK, I have checked with my hoster and they reply:
“`I can confirm that wp-cron has been running successfully on the site from 28 Feb till present and continuous to work as expected. (Please note we only store backups up to 30 days back, we won’t have any record before then.)
Just to confirm wp-cron is working and is running as expected.

I currently have 5 tasks pending to 2026-04-11, (these are all Scheduled dates)
then a series of Completes up to 2026-04-08 back to 2026-04-05,
then a series of Failed all on 2026-03-26
then a series of Completes from 2026-03-25 to 2026-03-18
then 3 Failed on 2026-03-17
then a series of Completes from 2026-03-13 back to 2026-03-11
then 3 Failed on 2026-03-09
then several Complete on 2026-03-05
then 3 Failed on 2026-02-09
———-Hoster confirms Cron working from 2026-02-08 onwards————-
then a gap with no tasks until X Failed from 2025-10-27 back to the very first Fail on 2026-06-15So it looks like there are both successes and failures during the period we know the Cron was working correctly.
Two questions:
1. is there a log file I can grab (e.g. from the server file tree) which will assist you.
2. The main one for me *** will any of these errors cause a Contact Form submission to fail? *** I have just tested it and it is currently working.
Thanks and I will wait to hear from you.
Thanks for your reply.

Weird, today it’s OK, after the removal of the height entry. I did clear caches etc but now it sees to be “just working”.
Thanks Carolina. I’m getting to grips with this now.
- This reply was modified 11 months, 2 weeks ago by cliffg1821. Reason: tick resolved
I have used the following css in the Content block in the template editor but it does not work:
selector {
padding-top: 0;
}yet if I turn the padding-top element off in the Inspector, it works as I want.
I am not sure I understand the “selector” entry (which the WP editor has pre-populated in the custom css field
Thanks in advance

On further investigation, removing the top padding has the same effect, probably better
Selecting <div class=”wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained” style=”padding-top:var(–wp–preset–spacing–60);padding-bottom:var(–wp–preset–spacing–60)”>
if I tick (disable) as follows:
element {
[tick] padding-top: var(–wp–preset–spacing–60);
padding-bottom: var(–wp–preset–spacing–60);
}and the box view padding goes from 70 to 0

In reply to: php version in WP differs from server installed versionThe other site changed to php 8.0 using MultiPHP Manager with the simple tick of a box (having done the compatibility checks earlier) 🙂
Hi David,
Thanks, that makes sense. My initial issue was that though the code contains e.g. functions deprecated in older php versions, I had no idea under what conditions that code would execute. From what you’re saying, UpdraftPlus will recognise the php in use and only follow code paths compatible with that version. As I say, I’ve not had any actual problens (so far).

In reply to: php version in WP differs from server installed versionThanks both. Aware that 8.0 or even 8.1 would be better.
The chance of getting sense out of my hoster for the subject site re. error logs is nil.
However, I have two very similar sites, one of them on a decent hoster, so I shall try and migrate that to 8.0 first, as their support is excellent (Clook).
Thanks again for all the help

In reply to: php version in WP differs from server installed versionDouble thanks.
Commenting out the 7.3 .htaccess line worked straight away. The site also worked fine after also commenting out 7.4 line. I’ve left these both commented out for now.
My hoster cPanel does have PHP Selector, which is how I (thought I had) changed the php version. Having found the .htaccess php 73 and 74 lines apparently did nothing, and with your comment that PHP Selector should work without needing an .htaccess entry, I changed the php to 8.0 (using PHP Selector) and the site didn’t work at all. I went back to 7.4 and all ok again. I’m happy to leave at 7.4, but for future reference I wouldn’t mind knowing why PHP Selector seemed to fail to change to 8.0.
[Re the editor, thanks.]
