 * I have followed your instructions but it still says Database updating and products
   not displaying properly. How long after running the cron will things take to 
   be back to normal?

 * Hi,
 * We installed the suggested WP crontrol but we recevied a new message:
 * ” There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This
   means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was:
    connect() timed
   out! “
 * And we still do not see the thumnails of product category but we see the message
   about the background updating database

 * Check your config files and ensure cron is not disabled then. Quite a few features
   of WC use cron so its pretty important.

 * WC cannot fix your cron settings. It will add a manual click button to trigger
   update, **but you should still fix your cron jobs.**
 * Try setting ALTERNATE_WP_CRON to true in your wp-config.php file.

 * This is a new update script to prevent memory and timeouts. Running everything
   at once is problematic for some users.

 * Thanks, ALTERNATE_WP_CRON could help – the WC update could finaly run true
 * So we can solve the product per row problem and we have finished…
