 * Hi
    I just enabled automatic updates for the ‘Mailchimp for WordPress’ extension
   and got this error:
 * Automatic update overdue by 5 days. There may be a problem with WP-Cron.
 * Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it ?
 * Kind regards

 * Hello,
 * If you’re using Mailchimp for WooCommerce, you’ll want to ask the question on
   the plugin support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/)
 * Please kindly note that this particular forum is for questions related to core
   WooCommerce features.

 * Thanks Maykato
 * I’ll raise the question with them
 * By the way I do realise this forum is for woocommerce features, hopefully you
   can understand why I apparently made the mistake of thinking a woocommerce plugin
   is supported the third party you use.

 * Thanks for the reply [@hampalm1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hampalm1/).
 * And yes, we totally understand – it’s not uncommon to get questions about third-
   party plugins posted on this forum!
 * Hopefully, the respective plugin authors will assist you further. I’ll go ahead
   and mark the thread as resolved from our end.
 * Cheers!
