How do I check if my server supports scheduled tasks

Open the WriteText.ai plugin dashboard and go to your automation or bulk transfer settings. If your server does not support scheduled tasks, you will see a warning that no WordPress cron activity has been detected in the last 24 hours. If the warning is not there, scheduled tasks are working correctly.

What the warning means

WriteText.ai uses WordPress cron to run scheduled tasks, such as triggering bulk transfers automatically. WordPress cron relies on site traffic to fire: it runs its scheduled jobs when a visitor loads a page on your site. If your site receives very little traffic, or if your server configuration prevents WordPress cron from running, scheduled tasks will not execute as expected.

The warning is there to surface this before it causes unexpected behavior, such as a bulk transfer not starting at the time you set.

What to do if you see the warning

If the warning appears:

1. Contact your hosting provider or server administrator.
2. Ask if WordPress cron is disabled.
3. If disabled, request a real server-side cron job to replace it.
   • A server cron job calls wp-cron.php on a defined schedule.
   • It is more reliable than WordPress’s traffic-based approach.
