 * I got this message when I tested the Cron.
    ” While trying to spawn a call to
   the WP-Cron system, the following error occurred: cURL error 28: Connection timed
   out after 3001 milliseconds
 * This is indicates a problem with your server’s permissions, resources, or general
   WordPress setup. If you need support, please contact your website host or post
   to the main WordPress support forum.”
 * Are there any guides for troubleshooting?

 * Hi there, [@dralson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dralson/)!
 * I am not very familiar with WP-Cron, but I did find this resource that may be
   helpful in troubleshooting this:
 * [https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-curl-error-28-connection-timed-out-after-x-milliseconds/](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-curl-error-28-connection-timed-out-after-x-milliseconds/)
 * I’m hopeful that you’ll also receive some feedback in the forum from those with
   more expertise in this area.
 * Good luck!
