My cron job appears to be working

Cron job

/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://www.mydomain.co.uk/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true&phrase=mypassword


But I still have a queue of emails sat waiting according to the dashboard. What exactly does "publish" do ? And any suggestions as to why they are there ? How can I get them moved ?
Hello Richard Moore,

That was strange, because it seems like your cronjob is working, however, can you provide us with following details so that we can help you check on this?
#1. Joomla backend access
#2. FTP access
#3. Cpanel access

Hello Richard,

I'm really sorry for the late reply. We have missed your reply. I've tried to access your admin site thru http://www.yoursite.co.uk/administrator but failed. Please advise.

Hello Richard,

I'm sorry but I get this when trying to login to your admin: Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet. And I can't access your FTP. Same goes to your cpanel. I get The submitted username is invalid.

CP definitely works - just tried it. I'd cut and paste it to avoid any confusing "ells" and "eyes" .

Check the attached site details in this message. I've just checked them and they all work.

Hello Richard,

I've tried to manually run the Cron URL: http://www.yoursite.co.uk/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true&phrase=yourpassword and the emails are successfully sent: http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-01-22_1100.png . This means that there is somewrong with your cronjob setup. I've tried to access the cpanel but still failed: The login is invalid. I've tested on several PC which I directly copy/paste the username/password in http://www.yoursite.co.uk:2082/.

Hi - hosting company are currently trying to resolve the cpanel issue. It's being a bit defensive/aggressive for some reason. Will get back to you once I know I can reliably login.

Hello Richard Moore,

Thanks for getting back to us, I can access in your Cpanel account now.

It seems like you just missing this "" :


/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null http://yourSite.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true&phrase=yourpassword



//replace with



/usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://yourSite.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true&phrase=yourpassword"


Also, I help you adjusted to every 10 minute cronjob will process.
it should work fine now. Please have a check.
