Learn How to Disable WP Cron & Use CPanel Cron Job Instead
WP CRON is not reliable if your wordpress site doesn’t get a lot of visits. Therefore, it is better to disable WP Cron and use a real cron by using CPanel cron jobs.
💪🏼 Add this line of code into your wp-config.php file
define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);
For cpanel cron job, add this command line to run twice per hour
php -q /home/username/public_html/wp-cron.php
Here’s an alternative command to use if the above doesn’t work for some reason
wget -q -O – https://domain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1
Please see the video for tutorial on disabling wp cron and setting up the cpanel cron job.
