git-updater: WP-Cron does not finish

The following message does not stop appearing even after 1h 15 min of waiting and reloading the sites front-end and admin. This happens since the latest commit. Any ideas?

Please be patient while WP-Cron finishes making API calls.

No it, no longer persists because I removed…

define(‘AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL’, 600);

from my wp-config.php file. which I was using for other purposes.

Well the Search Everything plugin as an incorrectly set GitHub Plugin URI.

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-github-plugin-uri-header/

If this is causing the issues, I would remove the GitHub Plugin URI headers from Search Everything. It doesn’t appear that it has been updated recently.

I believe I found the source for why WP-Cron does not finish, all with the help of your support plugin! For some reason, GitHub Updater is tracking the “Search Everything” Plugin and causing 404 errors.

https://api.github.com/repos/afragen/github-updater/contents/search-everything.php?ref=master&access_token=my-access-token

How do I keep the WordPress “Search Everything” plugin active in WordPress, but remove it from being tracked by the GitHub updater? It should of never been tracked to begin with.

Many thanks!

As it seems i might be a problem with cURL and SSL in relationship with an older php version (5.6.10). I will ask the administrator to check the certificate and update to php 7.* I will recheck and get back to you. Thanks!

Can you install https://github.com/afragen/github-updater-support ? It adds a couple of other plugins to assist in figuring out the issue. It also overrides the WP-Cron updating which helps in troubleshooting.
