 * I have a shared host with 2 sites
    1) addon domain site.com 2) subdomain sub.
   site.com
 * I installed WP-Crontrol to see wp-cron.
    Only on 1) it says “There was a problem
   spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron jobs on
   your site may not work. The problem was: Couldn’t resolve host ‘site.com'”
 * I have cloudflare on both sites.
    What could be wrong?

 * We can probably take a look with the specifics via a [CloudFlare support ticket](https://www.cloudflare.com/support).
   We really need to know the domain and subdomains at play here.

 * CloudFlare support don’t think it’s anything to do with CloudFlare
    Actually 
   after moving DNS to the host and back to CF now I get also
 * “There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This
   means WP-Cron jobs on your site may not work. The problem was:
    Operation timed
   out after 3001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received”

 * You had this issue not using CloudFlare? That’s how I’m reading this. That would
   mean issue on your server and/or with the plugin. Have you contacted the plugin
   author for possible causes? It might be easier to figure out that way to see 
   if we are/aren’t impacting.
