Hi Ron,
Sorry for the delay, what you should do in this case it trigger the cron yourself more often, because it’s not only one method that triggers the sending.
Hi, I realized that I do not need to do anything special to make it work, and no hooks to set up in crontrol.
What I did was un-check “Enable MailPoet’s Cron” under the advanced “geeky options” and set the Send frequency (under the “Send with” tab) to whatever I want. The built in wp cron works perfectly since the website is pretty active and apparently that is enough to wake it up.
By the way, I think you guys should clarify that the Mailpoet Ping is simply a last resort if for some reason your built-in wp-cron is broken or you have almost no traffic. Currently it reads like a “premium” feature that we should use for better performance. Turning it on made my newsletter sending unreliable (maybe because the mailpoet ping never came some days? … who knows).
Hi Ron,
We intend to change the default behavior to be our own Cron, since we built a new System that will allow both free and for premium users to have a reliable CRON, to avoid conflicts.
