WP Cronjobs doesn’t work behind HTTP Authentication over .htaccess Rules. To reaktivate WP Cron follow the steps:
Add Lines to wp-config.php:
if(!defined('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_USERNAME')) {
define('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_USERNAME', 'YOUR_USERNAME_HERE');
}
if(!defined('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD')) {
define('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD', 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE');
}
If does not exist, create directory wp-content/mu-plugins/ and add follow PHP-Script:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: HTTP Basic Cron Request
Description: Run Cron Request behind HTTP Authentification
Author: Nick Ohrn
Version: 1.0
Author URI: www.nickohrn.com
*/
if(defined('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_USERNAME') && defined('WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD')) {
function http_basic_cron_request($cron_request) {
$headers = array('Authorization' => sprintf('Basic %s', base64_encode(WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_USERNAME . ':' . WP_CRON_CUSTOM_HTTP_BASIC_PASSWORD)));
$cron_request['args']['headers'] = isset($cron_request['args']['headers']) ? array_merge($cron_request['args']['headers'], $headers) : $headers;
return $cron_request;
}
add_filter('cron_request', 'http_basic_cron_request');
}
?>
Restart Web-Server service apache2 restart.
