 * Thanks Phil for the helpful reply. Those are important points I didn’t realize.
 * If I create a fresh server & WordPress installation, and then use the admin Tools
   > Import feature to import my old WordPress data, will that correctly import 
   my WooCommerce data too? Will orders and products import? Also, will order numbers
   change?
 * Our current live server is running an older version of Ubuntu, PHP etc. Upgrading
   it in place has proven to be a real time consuming chore, with lots of dependencies
   to chase down. I am wondering if it would be easier to start with a fresh install.
   Retaining the WC data is critical though.

 * If you are running on Amazon AWS, this might help you: I had the same problem
   of wp-cron not running its jobs. The problem is that the localhost loopback is
   not working due to the security group settings. To test it, ssh to your machine
   and try wget:
 * wget localhost
 * If that times out, then you have a problem. I added a security group inbound 
   rule for HTTP from the public IP address of my site. Here is an example wget 
   response when it worked. I obfuscated the actual domain/ip address:
 * ubuntu@ip-10-0-10-161:~$ wget localhost

 * Once this worked, the wp-cron jobs started working. I used the WP Crontrol plugin
   to see the jobs and to run them on demand. I’m not an expert, so please correct
   me if any of this is not right.
