 * Short story long. I have WordPress installed in a docker container through Portainer
   on a private NAS.
   WordPress itself seems to be working fine, but the scheduled
   actions are not running and I am lost trying to fix it. Definite newbie at running
   a NAS. So, found your Advanced Cron Manager and installed the free version. Now,
   some scheduled actions execute, many still do not. However, I can come down to‘
   [action_scheduler_run_queue](https://sadduck.ddns.net/wp-admin/tools.php?page=advanced-cron-manager#)‘
   and hit ‘execute now’ and it runs all scheduled events. Yay! But how can I get
   this to execute on auto? I do not want to have to go there several times a day
   and click the button to keep things running. So, I copied the php implementation
   code and created a snippet. I used a php snippet plugin to run that snippet on
   every page. Plugin shows the snippet is there and active. Problem is, the implementation
   code does not run or just doesn’t do what it is suppose to do. Why? I know WP
   in Docker containers has issues running crons and scheduled events. I thought
   your utility was going to fix that. It sort of does in the fact that I can hit
   that execute now button and everything runs awesome. But I need a way for that
   to execute on it’s own. Any ideas?
