DaanvandenBergh on "Using Complete Analytics Optimization Suite (CAOS) w/ WP-Rocket w/ Rocket NGINX"

Hello,

I'm using Rocket Nginx, a tool for assisting in the configuration of WP-Rocket for servers using NGINX & PHP-FPM. When setting up Rocket Nginx one of the steps requires disabling WP's cron and calling to it from the servers crontab instead using wget or curl.

I'm using */15 * * * * curl http://www.website.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron > /dev/null 2>&1

With that said, I haven't been able to get Complete Analytics Optimization Suite (CAOS) to load the Google Analytics JS file on my server yet.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

If wp-cron is disabled, why don't you put the 'includes/update_local_ga.php'-file in a real cronjob?

That being said, I think the script needs updating in order to run outside of WordPress. I'll look into it tomorrow and check back in here.

To run the script update_local_ga.php in a real cronjob, remove the lines 2 - 3:

// Exit if accessed directly
if (!defined('ABSPATH')) exit;

Then the script is suitable to run outside of WordPress and you should be able to run it from a real cronjob.

Have you tried running wp-cron with wget? Are all the other wp-cron tasks (such as publishing scheduled posts) firing properly?
