WP Cron

[Dan FickerParticipant]

I’m following my hosting’s recommendations and have added this line to my wp-config.php:

define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);

Then I am calling the cron manually every 10 minutes with an HTTP request to this:

http://www.sitename.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1

In my experience in the past, it would then run the regular cron events for whatever plugins are installed. However, in doing this with BirchPress, it seems that the notifications no longer go out.

Shouldn’t running this manually do the same thing? I’d rather not have the cron running happen on page load but instead do it regularly via separate requests, if possible.

Any feedback or help would be greatly appreciated.
