# Connection Errors – Cron related

 * Hi,
 * I’m currently using this plugin to capture subscribers to our mailing list and
   have been receiving emails regarding connection errors.
 * The agency we use has disabled wp cron jobs on their multisite network and that
   does seem to be the issue. They don’t seem willing to enable them and I see the
   notice on the dashboard that those cron jobs are relied on for refreshed tokens.
 * Is there a possible workaround for this to allow successful connection, regardless?
 * Or would it be better to embed a form directly from Constant Contact in this 
   situation?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fconnection-errors-cron-related%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@matthewmagone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matthewmagone/)
 * As long as the tokens are still considered valid, they should work for the API
   requests.
 * That said, we definitely do try to use WP Cron to self manage and renew about
   1hr before the tokens are expected to expire.
 * That said again, I know we have a check for `DISABLE_WP_CRON` being set to true,
   and do a new refresh check/attempt. Ideally it’d be handled through the cron 
   system so it’s not getting checked “all the time”, but it is an overall fallback
   per request.
 * Would be worth checking if you have the `DISABLE_WP_CRON` constant set for you
   in your `wp-config.php` file, and if not, setting it yourself to see if that 
   helps resolve issues you’re seeing.
 * `define( 'DISABLE_WP_CRON', true );`
