Deactivated plugin, cron events keep missing schedules

I password protected my website root directory via cpanel directory privacy to help “hide” a site I’m developing and installed this plugin still allow cron jobs to run. Recently I removed the directory protection and deactivated the WP Cron HTTP Auth plugin. I checked the cron events via WP Crontrol plugin and no cron jobs have run since the HTTP Auth removal. They have all missed their schedules. I tried clearing the pending cron jobs. They repopulate but still none will execute. I also checked the htaccess file for http auth remnants and tried adding the following to the wp-config file. define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true); It sounds like an issue with cPanel and/or configuration. I don’t have access to cPanel, but will leave the thread open for a while in case anyone has some related information. Thank you for the reply. This is resolved. Ok thanks for the follow-up. Feel free to post again with further questions, feedback, etc. Glad to help anytime.
