Can't get CRON to run
September 06, 2013, 03:00:06 pm
I've tried a couple of different methods, with no sucess.

First, this to a 5min cron job:
$ php /wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u (myusername) -p (mypasword) -e Job -a execute
...nothing happened

Next:
php /home/meissner/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php -u (myusername) -p (mypassword) -e Job -a execute
...nada

Then I added the URL method with this cron:
wget -O /dev/null -q -t 1 "http://meissnernordic.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=myusername&pass=mypassword&key=mysitekey"   

When I put the URL in a browser, I got this message:
WordPress custom post types are not supported prior to version 2.9
...we're using WP 3.6

I do have a dash (-) in my WP username... could that be it?
I'm a WP and CiviCRM admin

I tried another admin user that did not have a dash in the name, and I still get the "WordPress custom post types are not supported prior to version 2.9" error message in the browser when I manually use the URL method.

Are there any known conflicts with other plugins? We run Postie.

When I disabled plugins and then enabled them one by one, I found these issues:

Promotions slider - creates the "WordPress custom post types are not supported prior to version 2.9" error

Redirection - creates a server error when using the URL method The website encountered an error while retrieving http://mywebsite.org/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=username&pass=password&key=xxxx. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Error code: 500

Deactivating both of these solved the problem.
