I don’t know why, but it appears that Automated Upcoming Event Notification email reminder messages are only generated for some of our events. I can’t seem to find a reason or pattern as to why that is. The events are all configured to use the correct email template which is supposed to send a reminder message 6 days in advance.
Our message settings are set to:
Messages Settings -> Generate and send all messages: On a separate request
Per request cron is DISABLED, but it is run manually via a script every 15 minutes. Is this a problem?
I installed WP Control, and I see do this CRON entry:
Hook
Arguments
Next Run (UTC-6)
Action Recurrence
Select this row
AHEE__EventEspresso_AutomatedEventNotifications_core_tasks_Scheduler__check
Edit | Run Now | Delete
None 2022-05-31 16:00:00
1 hour 12 minutes EventEspresso\AutomatedUpcomingEventNotifications\domain\services\tasks\Scheduler->checkForUpcomingDatetimeNotificationsToSchedule()
EventEspresso\AutomatedUpcomingEventNotifications\domain\services\tasks\Scheduler->checkForUpcomingEventNotificationsToSchedule() Once Every Three Hours
So, that appears to be running.
Looking at the events where the automated messages are generated successfully, I really don’t see a difference in their configuration from other events where the reminder emails are not generated.
Would the cron being run manually every 15 minutes cause problems such as these? I would imagine not?
Should I change the frequency of that AHEE__EventEspresso_AutomatedEventNotifications_core_tasks_Scheduler__check task to every 15 minutes? Would that help?
The WP CRON is required when you generate and send all messages on a separate request, if WP CRON is not running well, the scheduled messages are affected. Please, install/activate this plugin to make sure WP-Cron is running. If not, reach your hosting company support to activate it.
Let us know if it helps!
