 * Hello,
 * I enabled minify but nothing was minified. Under minify status i get these messages:
 * WordPress has a number (15) of scheduled tasks which are overdue. Unless this
   is a development site, this probably means that the scheduler in your WordPress
   install is not working. Read this page for a guide to possible causes and how
   to fix it.
 * &
 * CSS, JavaScript and HTML minification is an advanced feature.
    While enabling
   it will work just fine for most sites, it might need specific configuration to
   work properly on your website. If you encounter an issue and are not sure what
   to do, disable the feature and ask for help on the support forum. We will do 
   our best to help you configure it. Read the documentation
 * The links in the messages go to a ‘no results found’ page. Please help me fix
   this.
 * Thank you,
    Carina

 * [@mglcarina](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mglcarina/) Could you try adding
   the following line of code to your wp-config.php file (above the ‘stop editing’
   line):
    define( ‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true );
 * This will enable the alternative WordPress Cron system. This is designed to allow
   scheduled tasks to be processed when the main WP Cron is not able to run.
 * Could you then try to enable minify and check if it works?
