Hi, i am having some trouble to setup some cronjobs for wp all import.
I have tried to far:

But none of these work. Any clues on why they do not work? :expressionless:
Am i typing something wrong here ?

Post the result of concatenating the cron log. Use this command cat /var/log/syslog | grep CRON assuming you used debian os and cat /var/log/cron on CentOs

You will need to raise the the cron debug level nano /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf uncomment cron.* /var/log/cron.log" then run /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart or service rsyslog restart to restart rsyslog (via systemctl): rsyslog.service and restart cron service cron restart. Tail the daemon to see live logs tail -f /var/log/cron.log.

EDIT: if /var/log/cron.log does not exist create it using touch /var/log/cron.log

Many thanks jose.
The issue was solved when i did the

service cron restart

Everything works fine now using

/usr/bin/curl curl “https://mydomain.com/wp-load.php?import_key=mykey&import_id=1&action=trigger”

I still cant belive that this restart was the reason this cron took me so many hours :frowning:
Thanks again :slight_smile:
