wp-cron problem!

Hi

I have a big problem. Hostgator is block wp-cron on my 2 sites.

Before that, they sent me emails:

I apologize, but I was forced to suspend the script "/home/mastaz/public_html/xxx.net/wp-cron.php" as it was causing a high load on the server, and due to the nature of the problem, I forced to take immediate action for the health of the server. This particular script is used for certain wordpress tasks, such as trackbacks and link checks. If you have a large volume of articles, we recommend that you disable this, or disable this on any particularly popular popular articles that you may have. Please let us know how you would like to proceed.

And I not fixed this, then hostgator is block wp-cron on my 2 sites.

Hostgator email:
At the time that I preformed the suspension yes, and then only the wp-cron.php script (so the website itself is still running, however, the cron script is disabled). Please let me know if you have further questions, or if we can point you towards more information.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I have 15 active websites on this hosting, about 3 auto blog, using wp-omatic and wp-videotube. I have 2 sites with 2000 - 3000 visitors daily. 1 site with 1000 visitors daily, and a lot of small sites with 200 - 400 visitors daily.

Can you please help me? What is problem, auto blog or what.....hosting....

How I can fix that?

Thanks, mastaz314

Similar problem,shit.
I think we need cron addon,wich available in the autoblogged customer forum.
Anyone have access to it?

I had same problem few days ago. I think it was my wp duplicate post plugin causing it, but Im not sure yet. My host suspended my account right away. They sent something like this I'll try to explore whats with the wp-cron... If i find something I'll post it here.

wp-cron is a PITA. It can be tamed though. Unfortunately depending on the plugins you have installed on your blog this file can be more resource intensive than others. The best thing to do is to disable it in your wp-config.php file with this line:


Then you can setup a cron job in the crontab file. This is different on each different webhost. If you have cpanel you can do this in cpanel.

I would recommend you run it 4 times per day. Depends on how many things you have going on in your blog. If you have multiple blogs on one account then I would recommend you stagger each wp-cron.php run time. If you have a ton of blogs then reduce the number of times it is run per day down to two at the most.

Clearing out all of those SPAM comments and doing regular database maintenance can also help reduce the amount of CPU cycles your wp-cron.php uses.
