 * Thanks again for your help / advice. I have added a comment to a ticket on the
   github gutenberg issue tracker. As the problem relates to the block editor this
   seemed to be the right place.

 * Thanks, already tried these as well 🙂
 * And they have exactly the same behaviour as `&shy;`: when entered in the block’s
   _html mode_ they *magically* disappear when I deselect the block (yet they are
   there and are applied both in the block’s _visual mode_ and on the frontend).
   But this behaviour makes it unable to edit the hyphens further or correct them
   in the editor.
 * Is it a bug or a feature 😉

 * [@madeincosmos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madeincosmos/) You honestly
   saved my week-end with your post, pure gold. Thanks so much!
 * The actual SQL scripts mentioned in your article didn’t help straight away as
   they are but your post and the article/discussion pointed me in the right direction:
   when migrating my database from localhost to the live server all `auto_increment`
   settings got lost – never had this before in years. As a result Action Scheduler
   placed events at index 0, same with session nonces and stuff, “corrupting” wp_posts
   and wp_terms (and other tables).
    What I did now was manually correcting/adding
   the `auto_increment` setting table by table in phpmyadmin – this worked straight
   away when there was no row with index 0 in the table. But when there was I had
   to delete the row at index 0 first or reassign it to a different index – comparing
   the tables to my localhost “orginal”. So far errors are gone and woocommerce 
   keeps its settings. *whooooha* As a conclusion it wasn’t a problem with wp-cron
   but the Action Scheduler errors resulted from the corrupted database.

 * Actually the list of scheduled actions lists one failed, otherwise it’s empty:
   
   [List of Scheduled Actions, 1 Failed, Otherwise Empyt](http://vortac.org/misc/ListOfScheduledActions_Empty_Failed.png)
 * I have also installed Query Monitor as this was recommended somewhere to check
   for possible problems and found these when activating Woocommerce:

   [Query Monitor: API Calls SSLverify error](http://vortac.org/misc/QueryMonitor_APICalls_SSLverifyError.png)
 * The database error might be a separate problem from Action Scheduler. Could the
   latter one have something to do with my provider/hosting settings? Possibly restricting
   loopbacks in wp-cron?

 * [@saimonh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/saimonh/) Thanks for advising 
   the plugin, tried it already and gave it a second try but didn’t help. The error
   message still pops up and woocommerce setup can’t be completed.
 * [@corsonr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corsonr/) Hi, thanks also for 
   your advise, WP Cron is enabled as shown in status, installed WP Crontrol but
   couldn’t figure out what is wrong. Manually triggering the action action_scheduler_run_queue
   returns a successful message but when I revisited the cron events table the following
   error showed up:
    _There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system 
   on your site. This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem
   was: cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 0 bytes 
   received
 * Any idea?
 * Still woocommerce setup can’t be completed: pages do not install, settings data
   is not saved (like shop owner address and stuff), but the plugin is active.

 * Sorry to ask again…does cerber allow to a add a reCaptcha to a contact form as
   well (besides offering it for registration form, forgot password, login and comment
   form)?

 * Do I have to enable the checkbox for “Other forms” with the label “Protect all
   forms on the website with bot detection engine” (under Antispam / Cerber antispam
   engine)?
    Will this also work with forms that get inserted by a shortcode? Is
   there a simple check to be sure that a field is really protected?

 * Thanks Justin and Michael for your immediate answer! Bit ashamed actually that
   I didn’t read through the field type docs firsthand…wow, elaborate information
   to be discovered there! As you pointed out already, the example in the docs is
   exactly what I need.
 * Keep up the good work and thanks again!

 * Many thanks for the prompt and “honest” reply!
    I’ll follow your recommendation
   and will have a look at the CMB2 plugin as an alternative then.
