hey bad news – i have to stop with this ‘testing’ to get your reports to work

my client sent me this:

Howdy!

Since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, WP Crontrol.

First, visit your website (http://totalenergyservice.com/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (http://totalenergyservice.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=crontrol_admin_manage_page) and check for any visible issues.

Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.

If your site appears broken and you can’t access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

http://xxxxxxx.com/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=xxxxx&rm_key=xxxxxxx

To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don’t worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.

When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 5.6.1
Current theme: Typal.makewp005 (version 1.3.8)
Current plugin: WP Crontrol (version 1.9.1)
PHP version 7.2.25

granted, it’s ‘only’ wordpress that caught/flagged the error – but i/we have no idea if it also prints/shows on a godaddy master console

so as i said above, i can not/will not put my client’s site at jeopardy with godaddy, thus i have deactivated and uninstalled the plugin (along with compressing the DB to remove any tables)

i hope you understand . . . net net, it’s still working, however not producing the reports . . . my client was fine this . . . i was the one who wanted to find out why (i have been working IT for 41 years now)

many many thanks for all your help – hopefully you can find someone else who has the nads to complete this testing

be safe, be well, be smart!

Peter –

look at this, a reply the same day from me – it’s gonna snow

thanks for the feedback on my writing – I try to have some fun in life- never hurts . . . except for those folks who think they are too important for any fun in their life

I have to say thank you for the knowledge that there is plugin to read/manage cron jobs (of course there is, silly!) . . . I have been working with WordPress for 11 years now, and never knew this, but then again, I have never had a reason to know this either

so I installed the leading plugin for this functionality . . . and many of the wordfence cron jobs had the default start date for unix or whatever this OS is of 12/31/69 . . . so I tried to rerun them and deleted the old entry for them

what I assume is easiest for you and me is to share a screen shot of what i see
for a listing of all the wordfence cron jobs see

for a listing of the errors on the top of the plugin cron listing page see

I assume these are being blocked by my favorite host godaddy, but I will leave it up to you to decipher and tell me what you think

as always, thanks for you accurate, complete and timely replies (but there is no rush on this one if you are busy)

have a wonderful day

oh no. . . did you close this on me – just getting to it now

sorry so late, but i got busy and i wanted to wait on the monthly reports

i did as per above, complete deactivate, delete and re-install with an import of my saved settings

and still nothing? – set it to daily reports – nothing (tested email settings too)

any thoughts?

it’s clear that it is running for me at this one client site, just no reports – not a big deal, but annually i share one report with my clients to see that contrary to their thoughts, their website is under constant attack

i am just about to say ‘no mas’ with this, as it’s taken way too much time already

as always, i thank you for your time and effort

as always sorry just getting back to you

bad news, i cut n pasted the ID from the options page into the diagnostic test for just the email id and the test activity report – both worked

what do you want me to do next – deactivate, uninstall, reinstall
or
send you a diagnostic report

if you are sure a reinstall will work, i have no problem with that

thanks again for your time – i do appreciate it

thanks for your accurate co,mplete and timely reply – either that evening or the next day, I did as you requested, still had it on daily reports, and still nutt’n honey

and yesterday I of course got all my monthly summary reports from all my other sites

what’s next – export the settings, deactivate, uninstall, reinstall then import the settings

let me know – no rush, it of course is still working for me at this site, just no report

thanks in advance for your time

wonderful – many thanks for your prompt and complete reply – i do appreciate it
