Empty Cron Jobs

I was looking into why I don’t get the daily digests all the time and that my websites are not synched daily. (BTW I do have my website monitoring service checking the website every 15 mins to see if it is down which should fire it).

I did notice MainWP seems to have some empty cron jobs

They are set to run on a schedule (looks like once every hour) but have no action

mainwp_cronstats_action
mainwp_pagespeed_cron_alert
mainwp_domain_monitor_cron_alert

Is there any reason for this? I do have the domain monitor extension enabled.

Hey @eSIlverStrike

Where do you see these empty cron jobs? Can you please send us a screenshot?

Can you please post the community system report from your MainWP Dashboard for review? The report is located in your Dashboard under Info → Server, on the top right of the page.

Be sure to use the button like the one below; this button hides all your private information:

Pressing the button auto-copies the report to your clipboard then just paste it in a reply here.

Here you go. I got the info from WP Control plugin

Thanks for the system report.

Those empty cron jobs shouldn’t be affecting the delivery of daily digest or daily syncs.

Would you mind opening a private Help Desk ticket so we can collect some additional information & investigate further?

And please refer to this Managers thread by its URL in the ticket.
