We are testing the free version of Revisions and our site is hosted on Kinsta. By default, cron is disabled in wp-config on Kinsta environments, however, they use the server’s crond to execute WP’s cron script every minute instead. I’ve got a persistent warning that “Scheduled Revisions are not available because WP-Cron is disabled on this site. See Revisions > Settings > Scheduled Revisions.” but when I visit that link there is nothing to change – the settings are completely blank. And then when I attempt to make a new revision and schedule it, it never shows in the queue. Doing some googling it appears there used to be an option to bypass WP Cron but this isn’t showing on our site. How do I work around this? We’ve recommended another client of ours migrate to Kinsta who is actively using Revisions on their site and it’s going to be a big issue if they are not able to for some reason. Thanks in advance.

The link in that notice was not updated to reflect a rearrangement of the settings tabs, so please access settings manually until the next plugin release: Revisions > Settings > New Revisions > Scheduling On that tab, enable the following settings: Use WP-Cron scheduling Site uses a custom trigger for WP-Cron tasks @kevinb – thanks for this! I discovered that as well about 5 minutes before your reply 🙂 Good to know I’m not going crazy! Thank you so much. Have a great weekend! Hi again Kevin, So I just installed the plugin on our production server after testing on our UAT environment, and we don’t have the option to use “Site uses a custom trigger for WP-Cron tasks” – it’s missing there for some reason. Any ideas? The other 4 options are there and “Use WP-Cron scheduling” is checked. Thanks. This reply was modified 7 months, 3 weeks ago by jpcaudill . This reply was modified 7 months, 3 weeks ago by jpcaudill . Same issue here. “Site uses a custom trigger for WP-Cron tasks” is missing. @brajno @jpcauill As of Revisions 3.7.19, that option is only offered on sites which have enabled the constant DISABLE_WP_CRON @kevinb mine was actually enabled – I had to completely comment it out to get scheduled sync to even work. I’ll double check in a bit. I have: define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true); Plugin version 3.7.20. @jpcauill @brajno Can you please try the newly updated development version (3.7.21-beta) and let me know if it resolves your settings UI and scheduled revision functionality? https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/revisionary.zip Hi, looks good for me, thank you.
