Hello – the scheduled imports suddenly started working, at least every day during the past three days. I am on the latest version. Maybe something changed? I had not changed anything other than updating TEC when prompted.
That article didn’t help at all. As you can see from the screen shots, I know how to check WP Crontrol to see if the cron jobs are set for every 15 minutes.
I went to Easy Cron and I have no idea where to start. I think we need documentation on how to set up Easy Cron to work with Event Aggregator because from reading the help forums, many people are having the same problem I am having. I had no idea when I bought EA that this would be an issue and am doing hours of work for free at this point.
Thanks.
I installed WP Crontrol and changed the WPE event aggregator to import every 30 min instead of daily, so I could test better. It still doesn’t work. I did some research and couldn’t really find out if this cron job is set up correctly. I have attached a screen shot. I didn’t change anything.
Thanks.
Flywheel doesn’t do custom cron jobs. This is the advice they gave me. I wish I had known that this would be an issue, because this is now extra work I am not getting paid for.
Which do you think would work the best?

Sorry, we do not currently allow for custom cron jobs at the server level. We instead recommend utilizing the built in WordPress cron functionality. There are a number of plugins to help with cron scheduling, and we typically recommend the WP Crontrol plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/For external crons, I’ve had success using https://www.easycron.com/. They also have a free plan that allows you to set a job every 20 minutes.
—Yes, they run when I run them manually but the scheduled import has only worked once on one site.
Visitor traffic is not consistent on these sites. It’s a small, rural area.
I have not set up a real cron job. I assume that you mean I need the “real” cron job to run on the site I am running Event Aggregator on, correct? I am using Flywheel and I don’t see any articles on whether or not they can this, but I can ask. I see that WP Engine does have a way to ask them to enable it (one of the FROM sites is on WPE).
Thanks.
The main problem is that it imports all the events from the past two years and ignores the fact that I set the start date to be Start:July 22, 2018.
I am doing a project where one of the calendars I am pulling from is quite busy and has a lot of events from the past two years, and it’s going to be too much.
Also please note again in my first message all the other quirks.
Thanks!Thanks. My host bumped that up, but I am going to leave the items in the trash after all to help with troubleshooting. Some of those things ended up in there during the import and I don’t know why.
