 * Getting the error:
 * >  **Warning! wp-cron.php not found!**
   >  Unfortunately, WordPress cannot find 
   > the file wp-cron.php. This script is required for the correct operation of 
   > garbage collection by this plugin, WordPress scheduled posts as well as other
   > critical activities. Please see entry 16 in the [Troubleshooting section](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/faq/)
   > of the readme.txt
 * According to [this thread](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-super-cache-warning-wp-cronphp-not-found?replies=3)
   the answer to this is to:
 * >  …adding an line into /etc/hosts file, just add a dns record into this file,
   > like:
   >  127.0.0.1 your.domain.com
 * **However** this particular website is virtually identical to another site I 
   run which is not having this problem. Both sites DigitalOcean VPS droplets, that
   were setup and configured by ServerPilot.io. The backend of these sites should
   be identical.
 * The problem site was cloned over to the new hosting whereas the non-problem site
   was not.
 * **So** my question is:
 * Is there another reason why wp-cron.php might not be found by WP Super Cache?(
   eg: .htaccess related?)
 * And yes I CAN see the wp-cron.php file sitting there in the WordPress folder 
   on my server.

   and now it works 🙂

 * Hello,
 * I have the same problem when I transfered my website from development domain 
   to production domain (on the same server).
 * My wordpress installation doesn’t find the wp-cron.php whereas it really exists!
 * I have a server with virtual hosts and in etc/hosts/, there isn’t the production
   domain, only localhost and the development domain.
 * I activated WP Super Cache plugin, my site is working correctly, I have pages
   in wp-content/cache/supercache/my-domain.com/ but I still have this wp-cron.php
   problem…
 * Please help !

 * Hi,
 * Update the cache_path on wp-cache-config.php stored on wp-content folder
    It 
   worked for me.
 * Cheers!
