⚙️ Setting up on Server

Linux / cPanel

  1. Open Cron Jobs in your hosting panel.

  2. Add each cron with * * * * * (every minute).

  3. Use either URL method or Artisan command depending on your server.

Windows / WAMP

  • Use Task Scheduler to run the Artisan command every minute.


✅ Recommendations

  • Run all crons every minute for real-time execution.

  • If your hosting restricts cron frequency, set it to at least every 5 minutes.

  • Always test after setting up to confirm tasks are executing.

Quick check

  • The save or publish action completes without an error.
  • The visible status, preview, or connected account matches the change.
  • If the result differs, capture the exact message and review the troubleshooting guidance before retrying.
