    Hi Tamlyn,

    Thanks very much for your reply. Sorry I didn’t see it until today.

    It turns out if was definitely my local configuration. I had increased the global execution time limit here, but had to change it in a couple of other places too.

    I also increased the memory limit to 256MB.

    Database happily synced. Thanks again for this awesome plugin, I rely on it every week.

    Well as far as I can see, I didn’t change anything at all. I set-up cron through cPanel a long time ago. And nothing in any spam folders.

    Ah well, I’ll look forward to the next version when I can turn them off. I’d really only like to get an email when a user is marked as a splogger, so I can review it. I don’t really need to know that users are not sploggers.

    Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

    Thanks for the reply. So there’s no way to turn this off now.

    Do you know why I only just started getting these emails? I’ve been using WangGuard for months, and never got them before.

    I’m also looking to do this.

    I tried a plugin that claims to customise any emails a user gets when they register (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/welcome-email-editor/) however it hasn’t been updated in over a year and it doesn’t work for me.

    Thank you, Jose – That seems to have fixed it! 🙂

    What a shame this plugin doesn’t work any more. It looked like such a nice little plugin.

    never put a dot rather use underscore, it does not work with BP profiles urls with dot.

    for _, use this:
    $sanitized_user_login = sanitize_user($new_fb_settings[‘fb_user_prefix’] . preg_replace(‘/[^A-Za-z0-9\-]/’, ”, strtolower($user_profile[‘first_name’]) . ‘_’.strtolower($user_profile[‘last_name’])));

    I used this and still don’t get an underscore. I can’t guess why.

    The plugin author hasn’t replied on this thread (at least, I can’t see any replies), which was started three months ago, and it’s quite an important issue. Is the plugin still being updated/supported?

    Anyway, many thanks to the people here who have contributed to a partial fix.

    Thanks for taking the time to explain that.

    When you set Incoming Links cron type to WordPress Cron. The cron events are scheduled as usual, even if DISABLE_WP_CRON is set to TRUE! But as long as DISABLE_WP_CRON is set to TRUE you’ll always get that alert/error message.

    If I understand correctly, the plugin will run perfectly with

    • Incoming Links cron type set to WordPress Cron
    • DISABLE_WP_CRON is set to TRUE in wp-config.php
    • The following cron job run to trigger WordPress Cron:

    wget -q -O - http://yourwebsite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

    Since it’s running perfectly, it seems counter-intuitive to have an error message.

    I know the plugin is in beta, so will give my recommendation. I think that in this situation, anyone who is manually configuring WordPress with wp-config.php will understand that setting that option (DISABLE_WP_CRON) will lead to negative consequences if they don’t set-up their own cron job. I don’t think people would set that switch by accident. So I would recommend removing that error message. That’s just my recommendation – as you can see I’m not an IT expert; I’m just an end user.

    I re-read your first post

    …as long as the constant DISABLE_WP_CRON is set to TRUE the entire WP environment (including plugins) will act as there is no CRON available.

    I tested whether another plugin (Postie) was getting run via my existing cron command, even though DISABLE_WP_CRON is set to TRUE. Yes, it’s being executed. It successfully retrieved an email message from another server and converted it into a draft post. If Postie is running, I can assume your plugin is also being run when WordPress cron is being triggered by my wget command?

    I figure I’m misunderstanding something here but can’t pinpoint exactly what.

    This is the point that I don’t understand, and I’m grateful for any help you can give.

    If I select use WordPress cron, will the plugin run every time WordPress Cron gets manually triggered via:

    wget -q -O - http://yourwebsite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

    If so, I’d rather use WordPress cron and not have to create a new cron job for every site on which I use this plugin.

    Hi Alin, thanks for getting back to me. I’ve read the documentation now. I’ve changed the setting to use own cron.

    Do I now need to add a new cron job to run for this site:

    * * * * * wget-qO /dev/null http://yourdomain.com?action=wpmb_check_referrers&secret_key=[your secret key]

    or will my existing cron that I posted above do the job?

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks for getting back to me on this. In the end, I’ve ditched Bluehost. (I asked support and they said they can’t unblock the port.) I’ve switched to Siteground, and am in the migration process right now. When the process is complete I’ll enter fastmail as the 3rd party SMTP service. I’ve already got an account with ElasticEmail (through your promotion) so will check that too.

    Thanks again!

    Hi there Mark,

    Thanks very much for mentioning that. I had a try of your plugin and it’s looking very nice. I’m going to stick with simple footnotes since I’ve managed to get it to behave as I want, and have spent some time styling the appearance of it.

    One of my bug-bears with simple footnotes was that it inserted a space before the number of the footnote (I’m talking about the link in the text which will send you to the bottom of the page). I had to go into theme files itself to remove this space. I and some other users thought it should be built-in as an option: ‘insert space before numbered link’.

    I’m mentioning this because I can see that in your plugin there is both a space before the number and a bracket after, and I couldn’t see any options to remove either!

    Anyway, thanks again.
    Kit

    That plugin is the answer! Thank you for the pointer!
