#9118: cron loopback fix
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: cookeal | Owner: anonymous
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 2.7.2
Component: General | Version: 2.7
Severity: normal | Keywords: cron loopback
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
I was one of the people on shared hosting behind a firewall that did not
allow loopbacks and therefore could not get any of the cron tasks to work.
After a long and cooperative discussion with my hosts they have provided
an amended cron.php and wp-cron.php to circumvent the problem - they have
not changed their firewall but after applying the amended files to 5/6 of
my blogs I can confirm full cron functionality. I am not a programmer and
therefore dont really understand the mechanics of the fix, but wonder
whether this fix should be posted here in order that it can be
incorporated into the build and therefore solve this problem for others.
Would be happy if someone could advise whether or not I am in the right
place and how to proceed?
Many thanks
