To set up the cron job for wp-o-matic, you need to login to your cpanel and select the cron jobs option.
Select standard as your experience level.
The code wp-o-matic gives you looks like the following:
*/20 * * * * /usr/bin/curl http://www.blah.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=xxxxx
You only need the http://www.blah.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cron.php?code=xxxxx part. Paste that into the command to run field and select how many minutes/hours/days you wish it to run, then click save.
When you go to add another cron job the wp-o-matic job should have been saved and appear as “entry 1″ in the Cron Manager.
yess!! seriously exactly what i needed. Why doesn’t it say that in the instructions?
Exactly what I needed. I had added all the garbled code as a chron job instead of just the main url as you pointed out.
You rock for posting this, it helped me out so I appreciat it!
