Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Well I would like to say after a few hours, the post seems to have unstuck itself. So it appears the WP CRON was successful eventually.

The site is https://opensource.fan/ if you still think it useful to take a look.

The two defines you mentioned do not exist in my wp-config.php.

The site is not behind any CDN.

The theme is custom written from scratch. But if there is some code I must add to my theme for WP CRON to be activated, it’s very possible I have missed adding it.

> what happens when you try to access the /wp-cron.php
It does return a white page

>what happens why you try to access this file directly /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?
It does return a white page with a 0

The site does not receive a lot of traffic as it’s fairly new and more or less under active development, but even manually visiting the site didn’t appear to activate the CRON either…

>And/or the site is hosted with a host that is known to disable the WordPress cron
This is hosted on a VPS (SSH with root access). They do not do anything special for WordPress hosting. I setup Apache / PHP 7 / MariaDB and installed WordPress and didn’t mess with the generated wp-config.php.
