Issue with wp-cli

aengus

Hi,
Wondering if folks might be able to help - I noticed that none of our Wordpress installs seemed to be running cron, possibly becuase they were migrations in from cpanel - not sure. After checking through the forums I spotted that this should be added to the cron for each website:
wp-cli cron event run --due-now --path=public_html

...I added that, but cron's did not seem running still. I then tried running the above from the command line (just above /public_html) to see if it gave me anything useful, but all I seem to get is:

wp-cli cron event run --due-now --path=public_html
Error: Error establishing a database connection.

...I'm not too familiar with wp-cli or how Enhance uses it, does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks 🙂

Run it as the site user:

su - username
cd public_html
wp-cli cron event run --due-now

If you still see a database connection error, check info in wp-config.php

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated 🙂 Confirming that worked, got the expected:
"Success: Executed a total of 0 cron events."

I'm now onto my next thing to figure out - what should a Wordpress site on enhance.com have in order to run scheduled_actions etc, as they currently are not running... all our sites were migrated in via the cpanel importer, is it possible some cron entry that usually should be present is missing or something like that?

Thanks again,
Aengus

Use the Cron setting inside the Panel to make it run on schedule

Hi adil,

Many thanks for your reply - as best I can see I had those already set, the issue was the Wordpress scheduled actions didn't seem to be running. At least, I have the wp-cli working so I'll test some more and see if I can spot the issue 🙂

thanks both,
Aengus
