WordPress uses a file called wp-cron.php as a virtual cron job, or scheduled task in order to automate things like publishing scheduled posts, checking for plugin or theme updates, sending email notifications and more.
Have you tried the new WordPress Hosting plans? With speed and security built in, they make WordPress even easier than it is already.
By default WordPress is set up to call wp-cron.php every time someone visits your WordPress website when a scheduled task is present, to basically ask "is it time to do anything yet?".
On low traffic sites this is perfectly fine, but when visitors roll in, checking multiple times for scheduled tasks can be very inefficient and lead to resource usage problems for your server, plus make your website load slower.
Below we cover how to disable wp-cron and setup cron jobs.
Disable default wp-cron.php behavior
We can easily tell WordPress to let us handle the execution of wp-cron.php with the wp-config.php file.
- Open your wp-config.php using cPanel File Manager or FTP.
Go to the bottom of the database settings in wp-config.php typically around line 37.
Add the code below highlighted in red:
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */ define('DB_COLLATE', ''); define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
- Click Save.
Now, WordPress will not automatically run the wp-cron.php script each time your site gets a new visitor.
Setup manual cron job for wp-cron.php
We don't want to leave WordPress without any ability to automate tasks it might need to do. But at least now that it's not running for every single visitor, we can have way more control over when these tasks take place.
For most WordPress users, having the wp-cron.php script run every 6 hours is perfectly fine. That would be just 4 executions in a day, compared to possibly hundreds, or even thousands if you had a lot of website traffic that day.
- Log into cPanel.
- Under the Advanced section, click on Cron Jobs.
- Select Once per hour from the Common Settings drop-down.
- Now select Every Sixth hours from the Hour drop-down.
- Finally fill in the code to run our cron job and click Add New Cron Job.
cd /home/userna5/public_html; php -q wp-cron.php
Where userna5 is your cPanel user name.Keep in mind that the /home/userna5/public_html path would be for a primary domain, if you're using an addon domain, or have WordPress installed in a sub-directory you'll want to be sure to update your path.
- You should see that your new cron job was added successfully.
Now your WordPress website should be safely running scheduled tasks via the wp-cron.php script, but only at set intervals. If you aren't receiving an email when the cron runs, see our guide on cron job not emailing me.
Did you know? Not all hosting companies provide free access to cPanel. InMotion does and it's just one of the many features of our various web hosting plans.
Thoughts on "How to Disable the wp-cron.php in WordPress"
I was just trying to add the code into the wp-cron file but the code is not there as stated in the solution here, which is:
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
So has hsomething changed in the standard wp-cron file? Where do I now insert the disable code for each time a visitor hits the website?
The article above instructs to add the code to your wp-config.php file, not the wp-cron.php file. You should be able to see the code referenced in that correct file.
I'm concerned now that my line of code should have something instead of:
php -q wp-cron.php;
I set my cron job up just liek that. Is that OK? Did I need to edit anything else there?
You should include the cd command and path to the WordPress installation. For example:
cd /home/userna5/public_html; php -q wp-cron.php
I hope this helps!
i would say:
php –no-header wp-cron.php;
instead of
php -q wp-cron.php;
so you can spare "technically-challenged" people like me the trouble of looking up what the "-q" option does.
Thank you for your comment!
works great as written on webhostface hosting environments.
Checked using your method of scheduling a post before the time the cron job kicks off. Asesome!
Thanks for your feedback!
To setup the manual cron job, the command in step 5 (cd /home/userna5/public_html; php -q wp-cron.php) is different from the instructions on my "add new cron job" page in cPanel. There it says:
PHP command examples:
General example:
/usr/local/bin/php /home/username/public_html/path/to/cron/script
Domain-specific example:
/usr/local/bin/ea-php56 /home/username/domain_path/path/to/cron/script
In the above example, replace "ea-php56" with the PHP version assigned to the domain you wish to use.
So which command format is correct?
/usr/local/bin/ea-php56 should be used if you wish to control which version of PHP is used for the script you specify. /home/username/domain_path/path/to/cron/script is an example path to the script you would like to be run (using the version of PHP from the preceeding path).
You should use the following format:
/usr/local/bin/ea-php56 /home/username/path/to/cron/script
(replace "ea-php56" with the PHP version assigned to the domain you wish to use.)
Fatal error: Call to undefined function request_filesystem_credentials() in /home/popgroupcpa/public_html/kangarooislandgetaway.com/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-upgrader-skin.php on line 93 A
Sorry for the problem with the Fatal error in your WordPress site. The problem appears to be an issue identified in WordPress 4.93. Per some support forums, the best way to resolve it is to upgrade to version 4.94. If you're having a specific WordPress function issue you may need to speak with the developers of the affected plugin, or you may need to post the issue in the WP support form for further assistance.
if i update new post in site A.how to get same post in site B?
Why would you want to do that? That's duplicate content as far as Google is concerned and would hurt the 2nd website that posts it.
Can i use this commend for all users in my account
cd /home/userna5/public_html; php -q wp-cron.php
If no please tell me how to configure for all cpanel users under my Dedicated server
Help me
Yes, just change the userna5 to be the specific cPanel username you want to use it on.
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
Not as written in the article:
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', 'true');
Are there other things which could trigger wp-cron.php to run? I've implemented the fix you recommend and it greatly decreased the number of times wp-cron.php ran. But I'm still seeing it run more than expected. It's running more times than the # of site visits plus the number of times the cron job is scheduled. It's not even close. So I'm trying to figure out if maybe a theme or plugin could trigger it to run, and how I might track that down. Thoughts?
You could try enabling/disabling the plugins systematically. Likewise, you could switch to a default theme to see if either of these are affecting it.
HI I apologise if I missed the answer somewhere but I have over 300 addon domian sites and waswondering if there is a way to set the wp-cron.php without doing it 300 times. Can I do some sort of root account setting?
Thank you
It is likely possible with some cash scripting, however we do not have any scripts that perform that task currently.
If wp-cron.php is really being visited every time someone vists a page n your site then there is a na issue with the site that you need to investigate or you really have some functionality that is configured to create very frequent scheduled tasks. Simply disabling the WordPress cron doesn't fix anything but just masks whatever the issue is and will cause otehr problems. You state that you "do not need" WordPress cron but on what grounds do you say this? WordPress Core itself uses the WordPress Cron mechanism for important aspects of site operation and many common and popular plugins also use this mechanism for aspects of their operation – by disabling WordPress cron you simply break all of this. So personally I would advise that you investigaet and fix the problem rather than mask it and also break other stuff in the proces, but of course the choice is yours.
Hi John,
Thanks for your reply, finaly this is the only article that works!
Another sites tell to put the code at the end of wp-config, well my wp-cron still working.
After I tried your tutorial to put the code under database setting, my wp-cron is completely off.
Btw, I'm using true only, without single quotation marks. I don't know what is the different, I'm newbie in wordpress, but I'm really happy because finally my wp-cron is gone. I really hate that wp-cron, I don't need it. lol
Before that wp-cron always running everytime when someone visit my web, so my CPU resource stable at 75-100%, now my CPU resource is stable at 0%-25%.
You guys are awesome! Thanks a lot, I'm really happy right now 😀
The correct version is 'true' or true ?
I tried both and wp-cron still active and show up everytime someone visit my site, so the cpu resource is going crazy.
It should be 'true' with single quotation marks.
Thank you,
I had installed the plugin backwup. my backup-way was 'per email'. Because fro the start of the plugn,i got a lot of empty emails, I deinstallated an deleted the plugin, but the cron job ist still working, and it seems with every page load the job starts and sends me an email – I cannot find a way to stop the cron job, adding define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); to wp-config didn't help.
What would be the best way?
Thanks a lot for help!
Do you have any caching installed? If so clear the cache and maybe disable it for now.
Best Regards,
TJ Edens
I'm experiencing the same issue and it is definitely connected to cron job being run. The rest of the time WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart is working smoothly and without any errors.
This was super helpful! Thanks guys 🙂
I noticed that Webalyzer shows "hits" on wp-cron.php
Does this happen automatically or is someone trying to get into my wp-cron? I'm very concerned after being hacked at another web host, so I'm wondering whether I need to worry about this showing up
It is likely just bots. They crawl and hit common pages for whatever reason. wp_cron.php is in every WordPress site, so it could be just testing to see that it exists. Getting hit on any page is not an indication that it is being cased for a hack. Bots do all kinds of things for different reasons.
OK so what is the -q parameter for??
the -q switch sets the command to 'quiet' mode, which supresses output.
He's right though. The tutorials tells you to set "Common settings" to 1 hours, and after that specifies every 6 hours. Doing this deletes the common setting. Step 3 is not needed. At least on the latest cpanel. Check you'll see.
Thanks for your kind help, just a question in my head, how to check if it really worked or not?
You may have to check this against cron activity that was previously running.
Hi, I just wanted to leave an information here:
In some cases the wp-cron.php crashes on Windows Server + IIS the PHP.exe which produces an 500 error. You need than to recycle the application pool. So to fix this issue just disable wp-cron.php.
My problem was solved using,
*/5 * * * * php /home/cpanelusername/public_html/yourcron.php
this type of command.
Now, my cron working properly.
Thanks again…
Hello Jerome,
As long as your code can access the data then there really shouldn't be any reason that it would not work. For info on Crons, check out Running a Cron Job. We unfortunately can't provide specific code support, we can try to help if you have specific questions.
I hope this helps to answer your question, please let us know if you require any further assistance.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for you reply.
Im trying to load a function inside a theme, to grab the data from a xml link.
And i want to know if this command from the cron is possible to grab data.
I just want to know if i can run the file insde the theme like this.
php home2/username/public_html/folder/wp-content/themes/folder_name/file.php
Hello Jerome,
What exactly is it you are trying to do?
Kindest Regards,

I'm need to create a cron which in the midnight, but for testing i have simply created a cron which run after 5 mins is as bellow,
*/5 * * * * wget http://mysite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1 > /dev/null 2>&1
but is not sending any mail to me related cron, so i'm very confuze that cron is set or not.Also i have aslo run the file in url but also not getting any mail.
I have refer,
http://wpdailybits.com/blog/replace-wordpress-cron-with-real-cron-job/74 link to set a cron
I'm working with wordpress site
Please provide me solution urgently.
Thanks inadvance
Hello Poojali,
Sorry for the problem with the your Cron job. Unfortunately, the "wget" command is disabled on shared servers. You will not be able to use that command in a shared server, so it most likely the main issue with your cron job. You can use the CURL instead. Check out how to create a CRON jobfor more info.
If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.
Arnel C.
By doing not so much if I set the following code in wp-config.php, is it sufficient?
define( 'WP_CRON_LOCK_TIMEOUT', 900 );
Thank you for contacting us. While this may help, you will have to monitor your site over time to really know.
This is because everyone's site performance can greatly differ based on what plugins/themes you are using and how much traffic.
Thank you,
Thanks for the article. I've been experiencing some brief timeouts that are happening in the wee hours of the morning on certain sites. After looking at the logs, I suspect the wp-cron combined with some system maintenance. At the very least this will narrow down the problem. But, hopefully, it will fix it.
Its pretty solid. nice work. I appreciate you taking the time to put this together.
Nothing it worked perfectly and was a great answer.
Hi Jacob,
If I disable the wp-cron.php, and set cron job for every 6 hours, would it effect the comment left by my visitors? Does the comment appear only at every 6 hours?
And also the scheduled post will be posted only 4 times a day?
It does not describe the consequences of turning off chron, why I might do so – especially since I have no idea what triggered the need to do so, as I do not get any serious volume on my site.
This is what we have above: "On low traffic sites this is perfectly fine, but when visitors roll in, checking multiple times for scheduled tasks can be very inefficient and lead to resource usage problems for your server, plus make your website load slower."
Did you have any more specific questions we can answer for you?

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for article. You save me from zombie.
I keep getting this message
No input file specified.
Which later change to this, after i made some changes by adding my domain.
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/jailshell: line 0: cd: /home/xxxxxx/healthable.org/public_html: No such file or directory No input file specified.
The path '/home/xxxxxx/healthable.org/public_html' appears to be incorrect. It should be '/home/xxxxxx/public_html' if your domain is the primary domain, or /home/xxxxxx/public_html/healthable.org' if it is an addon domain.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
Alright Thanks… let me try this.
Having lots of emails….

I am not quite sure of your situation. Are each of those separate emails or are you getting emails with nothing but errors? Some of the errors appear to be plugin related. This can be specific to that plugin or possibly caused by other plugins interfering. You will want to test each plugin individually and then together in combination to see if there are any interference.
Kindest Regards,

I got the email just as i posted it
@Hansel – your article perpetuates the myth that wp-cron.php is caled by WordPress on every visit to a site. Rather than repeating falsehoods I would suggest you do your own homework, understand how it really works and then corect your article.
As for your technique, if you want to repeatedly call wp-cron.php for absolutely no reason and thus use more hosting resources rather than less then it's up to you. I suppose if you actually have 144 WordPress scheduled tasks you want to run every day on every site you have then you may justify it – but do you really? If not then you are simply wasting resources and if you don't understand why that might be the case then you might want to review your understanding of WordPress and how it handles scheduled tasks and what happens every time you call wp-cron.php when you don't need to call it.
There is a nice cron wrapper script for executing every wp-cron.php in multi vhost setups: *Link Removed*
Hello Hansel,
Thank you for your suggestion. If you are interested in posting an article in our User Submitted section, I would be happy to link to it.

Hi Jacob,
I renamed the adminold folder back to admin, I don't remember renaming this folder, I will see what happens now.
I am getting the other error every 6 hours by email.
I found that wp-cron.php continued to fire unless I placed the directive – define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', 'true'); – before this line:/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */While your article does explain a good place to put the directive, I figured I could just add it to the very end of the file. I learned the hard way that the order lines in of wp-config.php is actually important.
Hello Andy,
Thanks for getting back to us, glad to hear that staggering the cron job runs seems to have gotten rid of your first issue.
For the first error that you've provided, it looks like it's trying to run:
php -q /home/userna5/public_html/admin/cron.php
However it doesn't look like you have a /public_html/admin/cron.php file, so that's why it's telling you No input file specified.
I see that you do have a /adminold directory, so possibly you forgot that you renamed this directory after setting up the cron job?
For the second error, it looks like your wire-writer.com cron run is failing due to the WordPress Simple Paypal Shopping Cart plugin that you're running.
It says it has a problem with Line 13 of this file:
Taking a look there I see this:
if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
So it does seem related to something the plugin is trying to do with sessions. Doing a Google search of this issue I stumbled across this WordPress Simple PayPal Checkout Plugin Broken post on WordPress.org.
However I attempted to run that site's wp-cron.php file directly and was not encountering this issue. So I'm not sure if it is tied somehow to it being run from a cron job which would be odd.
I see that the site's cron job has run 3 times already today, are you encountering this error being emailed to you every time, or is it sporadic?
– Jacob
Hello Robert,
Yes the placement of the code in the wp-config.php file is important, that's why in this guide it states to look around line 37 for the Database Collate section to place it directly under.
I'll try to update the guide to make it a bit more clear that this is required. Thanks for the comment and letting me know!
– Jacob
Hi Jacob,
Reporting back ! I staggered those cron jobs like you said by 1 minute. I don't get any emails with that error anymore, I just get two emails periodically as follows:
from: Cron Daemon <email@example.com> to: email@example.com date: Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 2:26 PM subject: Cron <userna5@ecres155> php -q /home/userna5/public_html/admin/cron.php No input file specified.
And this one:
from: Cron Daemon <firstname.lastname@example.com> to: firstname.lastname@example.com date: Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 5:08 PM subject: Cron <userna5@ecres155> cd /home/userna5/public_html/wire-writer.com; php -q wp-cron.php Warning session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent in /home/userna5/public_html/wire-writer.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/wp_shopping_cart.php on line 13 Warning session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent in /home/userna5/public_html/wire-writer.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-simple-paypal-shopping-cart/wp_shopping_cart.php on line 13
Not sure about the first one, but the second one looks like an error!
My website is loading slow on mobile devices which is causing a higher bounce rate. When I deactivated the plug in that is causing this I get an error message:
Warning Illegal offset in wp_includes cron.php file on line 180 …..
This is what is on line 180 – "if ( isset( $cron[ $hook ][ $key ] ) ) {"
Any suggestions??
Hey Andy,
Sorry for the delayed response, we have to approve comments on articles before you can see them to make sure people don't include any sensitive information in their questions. So that's why you didn't see your comment posted right away.
If staggering the cron jobs so they don't all run during the same minute works, please comment back here and let me know. I can go ahead and update this article itself for other users that have multiple WordPress installs to make sure they don't run into the same problem if that's the solution.
– Jacob
Hello Nathan,
What was the plugin that you deactivated that starting causing this error, and if you re-enable it, do the errors go away?
Most errors I see regarding Illegal offset in WordPress are from years ago. Are you running the latest version 3.9.1 of WordPress currently? You might want to try upgrading if not to see if that helps.
Otherwise it sounds like possibly your plugin that you had activated might have modified the cron.php script in a way that WordPress is not expecting. If that is the case, you can make a copy of your current /wp-includes/cron.php file and then download a copy of cron.php directly from WordPress to ensure you have a unmodified original version of it.
Please let us know if you're still having any issues.
– Jacob
Hi Jacob,
Thanks for your reply, yes i have a bunch of wordpress addon domains for which i am following your guidelines to reduce cpu load on the shared server. So I just followed the instructions in the tutorial to manually add the cron jobs for each wordpress site.
I will try your suggestion and see if it makes a difference.
If not I will create a ticket to see why this is happening.
Cheers, Andy.
What does this mean? Emailed cron to me….
attempt to lock file /home/virtfs/_lock/889 timed out after 25 attempts; lock still held by pid 2170
Could not create lock file: /home/virtfs/_lock/889
Hello Andy,
Are you getting this error every single time the cron runs, or was this just a one-time thing? That error is in regards to the virtfs or Virtual Filesystem and seems to also be discussed here on the cPanel forums.
It basically sounds like a stale lock file, but I don't see it on the server anymore. If you continue to see this issue pop up, please submit a ticket so that our system administration team can review why this might keep happening.
One way you might be able to prevent this from happening is by staggering your cron job runs as well. It looks like you have a bunch setup to all run every 6 hours at the top minute 0 of the hour. Maybe go up a minute for each to ensure that one can completely finish before another starts.
– Jacob
I get no errors at all when I visit truthsaves.org/wp-cron.php. I get nothing. No page load — just a blank page.
BUT . . . I have success using the curl method! THANK YOU! I am testing the curl method right now and was just able to get a scheduled post to work! And no error messages. Thank you very much!
when I try the wget method, I just get an error that I don't have permission . . .
jailshell: /usr/bin/wget: Permission denied
Hello Eric,
Jacob means do you get an error message when visiting "http://example.com/wp-cron.php" itself?
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
Hello Eric,
That is correct, wget is disabled on our servers. You can, however use the cURL method. You can see the format for that here in our Cron job article.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
Hi Jacob,
I don't know what you mean when you say, "Do you get the same error when just trying to access the wp-cron.php script directly"
I did everything exactly as the article states.
When I disable the plugin I don't get an email that anything has happened. No email so that must mean the cron job is running but wp-cron.php has nothing to do. As soon as I re-enable the plugin the error messages begin again.
I'm guessing this means the cron job is not running when that plugin is enabled?
getting the following errors running this cron job:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie – headers already sent in /home/userna5/public_html/wp-content/plugins/botdetect-wp-captcha/wp-botdetect-captcha.php on line 205
Apparently it's connected to the botdetect captcha plugin. But I know nothing about this stuff. Does this mean the cron job is not running? Should I go back to using wp-cron.php? Or should I just ignore these errors?
Hello eric,
Do you get the same error when just trying to access the wp-cron.php script directly?
I installed that same WordPress plugin and was unable to get it to run into problems when running from a cron job. Are you using the same method as mentioned in this guide as:
cd /home/userna5/public_html; php -q wp-cron.php
If you disable the plugin does your cron job run without errors?
– Jacob
Unfortunately the original premise of the post is incorrect, which rather invalidates the main thrust of the topic.
If you would actually check in WordPress rather than simply regurgitate misinformation that you read elsewhere you would know that WordPress does not call wp-cron.php every time the site is visited. WordPress only makes a loopback access to wp-cron.php when there is a scheduled task due to run. I just thought I'd emphasise that so you'd be clear where the error in your original premise was.
In fact if you disable WordPress cron and instead rely upon server cron you can end up increasing the resource usage for a site. Just thought I'd emphasise that since the major claim of the post is the opposite. If you don't understand why I suggest you run through some use case scenarios (and remember that a direct access to wp-cron.php is basically like any other site access and WordPress runs through it's whole initialisation.
The simple example of having a server cron run 4 times a day may not increase resource usage but it certainly isn't going to decrease it. But is 4 timesa day really valid for the type of high-traffic site that the example is pinned on? I would suggest considering something more realistic.
There is a place for a well targetted server cron to fire once at a specific time to trigger a periodic task that you know will be due at that time – but use this in conjunction with WordPress cron.
The only other time you might want to use a more frequent server cron is if the hosting doesn't support http loopbacks and you are required to enable the WordPress alternate cron to haev WordPress cron work (if this is required then this is a bad host and you shouldmove anyway). This has the unfortunate side effect of sometimes making additional nasty query strings be visibly appended to urls that a site visitor might see and only in that case and only if you didn't like that effect would you consider a more frequent server cron, but you'd have to take the hit of increased resource usage compared with using WordPress cron.
Yup, as i have copied the code from above, there s space after cd . does it have to be there.
Hello Shan,
In the code provided, yes there should be a space after the cd.
cd /home/userna5/public_html; php -q wp-cron.php
If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.
Thank you,
I copy pasted ur code above, changed user and added /wordpress after public html. Later came back to add email. However is there a possibilty of cron file having a different name
The wp-cron.php file is always in the same place within the WordPress installation. Be sure that the path you are referencing in your cron job is the exact path of your WordPress installation.
I used this method, and added wordpress to the root after username, but i get an email saying NO input file specified. and i get it after every hour.
This means that your reference to the file is broken. Could you provide me with the exact line of code that you have in there for your cron job?
Generally it's better to trigger cron from the command line than web because web often has a more limiting max execution time than command line.
I do have a *real* cron job on that site, however it runs only once per day at 3am, but it has nothing to do with wp-cron.php.
If you've followed the steps here correctly to disable it, the only person who would be able to give you accurate information on it would be your host.
Hello Dorian,
If you've disabled the WordPress wp-cron.php inside the wp-config.php file, but it's still running, this could be caused by one of your plugins. Especially if it is a matter of your wp-cron.php script hanging and causing a lot of usage.
If you are on a cPanel host you should be able to access your raw access logs and take a look for the wp-cron.php requests in you logs.
This might help you narrow down what is still triggering your wp-cron.php executions even though they are disabled upon running every visit.

My host sent me a message 15 days ago saying that "multiple wp-cron processes running from previous days" had caused a resource shortage on my server. A quick google search led me to your website and I applied the line of code in wp-config.php exactly where you suggested. This morning there is another warning message in my inbox saying the same website's wp cron had caused a resource shortage. I checked wp-config.php and verified that I had entered the code correctly.
Any suggestions why wp cron is still doing this despite that it has been disabled?
This line within your wp-config.php file will completely disable the wp-cron. It is, however, possible that if you set up the additional cron job, that you set it to run too frequently.
If you only disabled the wp-cron and are still getting these messages, I recommend speaking with your host for more information as it should no longer be running anymore.
Hi Jeff,
OK… It sounds like the correct path is to the location of the actual wp-chron.php file.
I think the misscommunication is about giving WordPress it's own folder – routine for me as it's a small but incremental plus for security.
Here's the wordpress.org skinny on it.
Thanks again!
Hello Ken,
Thanks for the additional information.
Kindest Regards,
Scott M
Hi Jeff,
Sorry to be a pain… But I'm not absolutely sure we are on the same page. If you'll indulge me, I'll see if I can do this more graphically.. I'll use 3 sites in the example but only "flesh out #2 as my poster child. Each site is a separate addon domain.
wordpress-site-folder-1 (abc.com)
wordpress-site-folder-2 (mno.com)
wordpress-site-folder-3 (qrst.com)
So in my example, the path to the actual wp-chron.php would be
But you are saying that the chron job path should go to the site root…
Yes? I just want to be sure to get it right!
Your wp-cron.php file is directly inside the WordPress directory for each site, in which there would not be a separate folder inside it with additional WordPress files unless you have some sort of additional custom setup. If you take a look inside each WordPress installation, you will see a file named wp-cron.php. This is the file that needs to be referenced in the cron job for each site.
Thanks Jeff!
One further question… If I have a site in a folder and I run "WordPress in a folder" do I want the chron to be set to the root of that site i.e. … public_html/xyz or should I set the chron to the actual location of the wp-chron.php file i.e. … public_html/xyz/abc
The cron should run the wp-cron.php file inside the folder of that specific site. For example, if you have wordpress installed inside a folder names wordpress, you would set the cron to the following:
cd /home/userna5/public_html/wordpress; php -q wp-cron.php
I have a number of WordPress sites on my IMH account. Is this a "one size fits all" sort of thing? i.e. Will this make all my sites run a chron job at the same time? Most of my sites are in folders (like public_html/qrs/wordpress2, public_html/xyz/wordpress3, etc ) Is that a problem in any way?
This change will only affect the WordPress site that you make the change on and will not affect all other WordPress sites. You will need to make the change on each site if you want it active on all of them.
this tip helps a lot with dealing a monster site.
No problem at all laishaoyi, glad it helped out!

eceived with mixed reviews and Western indifference to Japanese penchants for mecha, Chromehounds has proven itself a niche game through its enduring, if small, online community. After playing off and on for the last eighteen months, editor Jeremy Steeves and I have been playing the mech-battle simulator regularly for several weeks. Once focused on what Penny Arcade's Jerry Holkins called "a rustling box of LEGO," the two of us instead concentrated on tactics and consistent teamwork. Engaged only in player-versus-player matches, we've won about half of the games entered, often defeating teams of Hounds larger than ours — even enjoying the lessons of our defeats. Except, that is, when we have run into "el cheapo builds."
The Chromehounds power law.The state of the game has players in two virtual leagues. Matches between low-ranking players typically involve Hounds of greatly varying design, many of which correspond to the six envisioned "role-types." High-ranking players, however, usually compete with a handful of designs — all of which are intended to gain every conceivable advantage in gameplay.
Now, it takes a little brilliance to arithmetically determine the shortest distance between game mechanics and assured victory. But when that éclat is imitated for purposes of winning at any cost, the game is reduced in variety and scope. There are terms for this, most of them pejorative. In Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, these opportunists are known as "Minmaxers," and in BattleTech, "Munchkins." The phenomenon is explained by theories that I myself confess to handle gingerly.
What some members of Chromehounds' online community call "evolution" is a social example of emergence — a group of individuals coordinating complex behaviors that culminate in an unforeseen collective. In Chromehounds, a few months of design experimentation resulted in a combination superior to most others. It was witnessed by others, examined and copied, and improved. A power law arose. Players who selected one of several high-performing designs won more matches — and could easily attain top ranking — than those who stuck with one of thousands of other, less powerful builds. Winning was vital. Case in point: an early paramount, the ungainly Double-Double, quickly disappeared when a patch qualified its power. Why? Because hardly anybody ran it for fun.
Survival, but of the fittest?
Curious designs you will never,
ever, ever, ever see.Developer From Software and publisher Sega have got to be impressed with the invention. But Chromehounds was promoted to allow players to "build a customized Hound," and "assemble the ultimate multiplayer team" of six roles. From and Sega didn't intend a game dominated by nearly identical units. Nor do gamers now purchasing the bargain-bin title expect competition that encourages them to forgo Chromehounds' "millions of options" and run the month's prevailing design. Picture seven-card stud with two winning hands, or a hockey team with nothing but forwards. The two leagues play well without interference from one another, yes, and an adjustment to the game seems as unlikely as a sequel. But a patch containing four significant changes to gameplay would spare many the need to draw up gentleman's agreements.
The Kingdom of Sal Kar, one of three contending belligerents in the alternate-reality Balkans, proffers expensive but lightweight and efficient military technology. Soon players discovered that its spindly, legged chassis were markedly more difficult to hit, yet weren't much less durable or sturdy than other, more massive parts. Naqas, inverse legs resembling snapped toothpicks, were judged as the most effective — and so highly competitive players started to use them, and only them. Since the Naqas are so elusive to fire, area-effect weapons were preferred as long as they were practical to equip and easy to use. What about bipedal, treaded, hover, wheeled and quad-legged chassis? Or the half-dozen other inverse sets? Rejected for Hounds that look like bomb-throwing fleas, ubiquitous in higher-ranking matches. There is one plain solution: reduce the Naqa's load capacity or its armor, or both.
The Double-Double design exploited both a local and general loophole: the wiry, nimble Naqa legs are inversed; and inverse-legged chassis can fire howitzers and large cannons about as stably as ponderous quad-legs. From's weakening of large cannons drove the Double-Double out of fashion. Unfortunately, the continuing allowance for players to hitch heavy artillery to fast-moving Hounds renders an entire chassis class quaint while it violates Chromehounds' implication that with speed, one sacrifices power, and vice-versa. Players who run quads are thought to be a) endearing if new to the game, b) eccentric if well-acquainted, and either way c) a very, very easy target. Increasing the recoil of big gun and the stability of quads can redeem the quad-legged Hound as the only unit able to effectively fire a howitzer or large cannon.
I have learned two lessons from Japanese players. The first was how effectively smokescreen can be laid at close range. The second was a build meant to be sharply instructive, designed after I hit a Japanese player with those overpowered, downloadable grenades. My Hound carried only two launchers; I added them to remain competitive after losing to an absurd-looking design known as a Shino Kart. The grenades did their work — in a single volley I had set the player's tank on fire and destroyed most of its hardware. The Japanese fellow and I played a match immediately after: he was a little longer in the garage because of the time necessary to affix eight grenade launchers. I was obliterated. After that, he sent a coy taunt, inviting me to another match lobby. My humble response was one of two apropos phrases I've learned, Osewa ni narimashita. The grenade launcher download, I was taught, is a wretched device for the craven, lazy and legally blind. From Software and Sega would earn more from brand equity were they to discontinue it.
Canopies, cabins and cockpits are accepted as vehicular weak points. But to spend all that time tinkering, preparing for a slugfest, only to be dropped with a single shot? Just a few months of online matches went by before the term "open c-pit" denoted liability, which is to say, suicide. Players began allocating weight to protective armor plates; then learned to recess cockpits; before a few devised ways to place the cockpit at a Hound's rear, as if it were the barb on a tail. Shrewd? Yes. In the spirit of the game? Not at all. Why not require of cockpits the same unblocked line-of-sight as weapons, and add compensatory armor points for the protection that would have been there? Let players spend time experimenting, not keeping up with the Joneses.
And that is the moral, here: creativity, less boosterism. Chromehounds two years on is still a strong game. It would be stronger were ruthless pragmatism restricted to where it would actually be virtuous, such as a video-war against electronic aggressors in a real-life occurrence of TRON. Or, for those in need of an alternative, industrial design.
An excellent article!
Over a year and a half later it's a shame to see that these simple fixes were never implemented. As the servers are now about to be shut down (so if you're thinking about getting this game, don't) it's a real shame that a game with such potential has to die like this.
I suppose I fall under your eccentric category as one of my favourite builds is a quad legged eight sabre beast firing heat rounds. It's excellent against naqas as long as they're not snipers. However, any kind of mobile sniper or buggy will eat it for breakfast due to its lack of mobility, although it does pose a threat for mobile snipers due to its sheer fire power.
If anyone made a sequel with the simple fixes you mentioned it could become a highly competitive game. The huge number of maps and their massive size has made the game great fun to play, it's a shame that the only time I can run my fun builds is when playing AI. If I'm up against players I am relegated to my reverse joint closed cockpit.
I'm in complete agreement, Monster. Your favorite build reminds me of those early days when my friends and I would experiment with massive, ponderous Hounds, enjoying the balance of strengths and weaknesses.
For a time, Jeremy and I could get some mileage with a sniper/smokescreen-blower duo — we often pitted ourselves against superior numbers of players, once actually beating a six-man team. The fun, of course, only lasted as long as the opposing Hounds were as creative (and, to the min-maxers, liable) as ours.
Excellent article. I was doing my monthly search on the web about CH2 info and stumbled upon it.
...yes...I still have hope that CH2 will be made after more then a year of the servers being down. Although the game had it's fair share of issues it is still to this day the most fun me and my friends ever had online.
Here is to hoping that one, glorious day I can walk across a field in a triple-double with my commander-buddy and rain hell from half the map away.

British nationality law is the law of the United Kingdom concerning citizenship and other categories of British nationality. The law is complex owing to the United Kingdom's status as an imperial power.
English law and Scots law have always distinguished between the Monarch's subjects and aliens. Until 1914 British nationality law was uncodified. The British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914 codified existing common law and statute, with a few minor changes.
|British & Commonwealth
|Commonwealth nationality laws
British (history)
|Classes of citizens and subjects
British citizen
|Rights and visas
Right of abode
Ireland Act 1949
With the development of the modern British Commonwealth of Nations in the 20th century, the single Imperial status of British subject was deemed by some to be increasingly inadequate to deal with the realities of a Commonwealth with independent member states. In 1948, the Commonwealth Heads of Government agreed that each member would adopt a national citizenship, but that the existing status of British subject would continue to be a common status held by all Commonwealth citizens.
The British Nationality Act 1948 established the status of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC), the national citizenship of the United Kingdom and those places that were still British colonies on 1 January 1949, when the 1948 Act came into force. However, until the early 1960s there was little difference, if any, in United Kingdom law between the rights of CUKCs and other British subjects, all of whom had the right at any time to enter and live in the United Kingdom.
Between 1962 and 1971, as a result of fears about increasing immigration by Commonwealth citizens from Asia and Africa, the United Kingdom gradually tightened controls on immigration by British subjects from other parts of the Commonwealth. The Immigration Act 1971 introduced the concept of patriality, by which only British subjects with sufficiently strong links to the British Islands (i.e. the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) had right of abode, the right to live and work in the United Kingdom and Islands.
Although there have been several amendments to the 1971 Act in the intervening years, the principal British nationality law today is the British Nationality Act 1981, which established the current system of multiple categories of British nationality, viz. British citizens, British Overseas Territories citizens, British Overseas citizens, British Nationals (Overseas), British subjects and British protected persons. Only British citizenship includes the automatic right of abode in the United Kingdom.
The 1981 Act also ceased to recognise Commonwealth citizens as British subjects. There remain only two categories of people who are still British subjects: some people (formerly known as British subjects without citizenship) who originally acquired British nationality through a connection with former British India, and also a number of people connected with the Republic of Ireland before 1949 who have made a declaration to retain British nationality. Those British subjects connected with former British India lose British nationality if they acquire any other.
There are currently several classes of British national:
Of the various classes of British nationality and BPP status, all except British citizenship and British Overseas Territories citizenship are residual categories. This means that they will become extinct with the passage of time, as they can only be passed down to the national's children in exceptional circumstances, e.g. if the child would otherwise be stateless. There is, consequently, little provision for the acquisition of these classes of nationality by people who do not already have them.
Of all the six classes of British nationality, only the status of British citizen carries with it the right of abode somewhere (in this case the UK), and all British Passports include a note to this effect. However, in practice, BOTCs (except those associated with the Sovereign bases in Cyprus) were granted full British citizenship in 2002, BN(O)s have right of abode in Hong Kong, BSs and BPPs lose their statuses upon acquisition of another nationality (except BSs connected the Republic of Ireland, who have the right to live and work in the UK anyway because of EU treaties) and so should be eligible for registration as British Citizens under the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.
This makes British Overseas Citizens unique in they their nationality status is not associated with the right of residence anywhere in the world.
British Citizenship can be acquired in the following ways:
For nationality purposes, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man are generally treated as if they were part of the United Kingdom[citation needed].
Leaflets and advice which give information about how British citizenship and other kinds of British nationality can be held, applied for or renounced are available from the Home Office UK Border Agency (Formerly known as Border and Immigration Agency or BIA). Information is also available from the Home Office on provisions for reducing statelessness.
Persons acquiring citizenship by method (2) are called citizens by descent, while citizens acquiring citizenship by methods (1), (3) or (5) are called citizens otherwise than by descent. British citizens by registration, method (4), may be either, depending on the circumstances. Only citizens otherwise than by descent can pass on their citizenship to their children born outside the UK automatically; citizens by descent can only pass on citizenship to their non-UK born children by registering them.
Under the law in effect from 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth.
Before 1983, birth in the UK was sufficient in itself to confer British nationality irrespective of the status of parents, with an exception only for children of diplomats and enemy aliens. This exception did not apply to most visiting forces, so, in general, children born in the UK before 1983 to visiting military personnel (e.g. US forces stationed in the UK) are British citizens by birth.
'British Citizenship by descent' is the category for the children born outside the UK to a British citizen. Rules for acquiring British citizenship by descent depend on when the person was born.
A child born outside the UK on or after 1 January 1983 will automatically acquire British citizenship by descent if either parent is a British citizen otherwise than by descent at the time of the birth.
Before 1983, as a general rule British nationality could only be transmitted from the father through one generation only, and parents were required to be married. See History of British nationality law.
With effect from 20 July 2009, the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act of 2009 provides that a person born outside the UK to a British mother may be entitled to register as a British citizen by descent if that person was born before 1 January 1983[5]. Before the 2009 changes, only persons born after 7 February 1961 and before 1 January 1983 were eligible for this provision. However those with permanent resident status in the UK or who are entitled to the right of abode may instead prefer to seek naturalisation as a British citizen which gives transmissible British citizenship otherwise than by descent. Requirements for successful registration are that the applicant be of good character and attend a citizenship ceremony.
A child adopted by a British citizen only acquires British citizenship automatically if:
In both cases, at least one adoptive parent must be a British citizen on the date of the adoption.
In all other cases, an application for registration of the child as a British citizen must be made before the child is age 18. Usually this will be granted provided the Secretary of State accepts the adoption is bona fide and the child would have been a British citizen if the natural child of the adopters. Usually the adoption must have taken place under the law of a 'designated country' (most developed nations along with some others are 'designated' for this purpose) and be recognised in the UK. This is the standard method for children adopted by British citizens permanently resident overseas to acquire British citizenship.
The cancellation or annulment of an adoption order does not cause loss of British citizenship acquired by that adoption.
British children adopted by non-British nationals do not lose British nationality, even if they acquire a foreign nationality as a result of the adoption.
Naturalisation as a British citizen is at the discretion of the Home Secretary (i.e., in practice, his or her officials). The Home Secretary may grant British citizenship to anyone they "think fit". [2] Although the Home Office sets down a number of official requirements for naturalisation, the Home Office may waive any of these, and may refuse citizenship to a person even if they meet all of the requirements. [3] However, applications for naturalisation are normally granted if the requirements are met.
The requirements for naturalisation as a British citizen depend on whether one is married to a British citizen or not.
For those married to a British citizen the applicant must:
For those not married to a British citizen the requirements are:
Those applying for British citizenship in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man (where the application is mainly based on residence in the Crown Dependencies rather than the UK) do not have to sit the Life in the UK Test. Instead, in the Isle of Man, there is a Life in the Isle of Man Test, consisting of certain questions taken from the Life in the UK Test syllabus and certain questions taken from a separate syllabus relating to matters specific to the Isle of Man. In due course, it is expected that Regulations will be introduced to that effect in the Channel Islands. The provisions for proving knowledge of English, Welsh or Scottish Gaelic remain unchanged until that date for applicants in the Crown Dependencies. In the rare cases where an applicant is able to apply for naturalisation from outside the United Kingdom, a paper based version of the Life in the UK Test may be available at a British diplomatic mission. Details (pdf)
As of 11 February 2009, wait times for naturalization applications were reportedly significant, taking up to 6 months to complete.[6] The UK Border Agency stated that this was occurring because of the widespread changes proposed to the UK Immigration Laws likely to take effect in late 2009.[7]
As of 6 April 2009, the fee for naturalisation (including Citizenship ceremony fee) is £720 for single applications, and £850 for joint application, for husband and wife (or civil partners living together) if applying at the same time.[8]
The immigration status for citizens of European Economic Area states and Switzerland has varied since 1983. This is important in terms of eligibility for naturalisation, and whether the UK-born child of such a person is a British citizen. Details (pdf)
In general, before 2 October 2000, any EEA citizen exercising Treaty rights in the United Kingdom was deemed to be "settled" in the United Kingdom. Hence a child born to that person in the United Kingdom would normally be a British citizen by birth.
The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations provided that with only a few exceptions, citizens of EU and European Economic Area states are not generally considered to be "settled" in the UK unless they apply for and obtain permanent residency. This is relevant in terms of eligibility to apply for naturalisation or obtaining British citizenship for UK born children (born on or after 2 October 2000).
A further change took place on 30 April 2006 with the coming into force of the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006. These provide that citizens of EEA states and Switzerland automatically acquire permanent residence after 5 years resident in the United Kingdom exercising Treaty rights.
Children born in the United Kingdom from this to EEA/Swiss parents will normally be British citizens automatically if at least one parent has been exercising Treaty rights for 5 years. If the parents have lived in the United Kingdom for less than 5 years when the child is born, the child may be registered as British under s1(3) of the British Nationality Act once the parents have completed 5 years residence in the United Kingdom.
Children born between 2 October 2000 and 29 April 2006 may be registered as British citizens as soon as one parent has completed 5 years residence exercising Treaty rights in the United Kingdom.
Irish citizens, because of the Common Travel Area provisions between the UK and Republic of Ireland, are exempt from these restrictions and are normally treated as "settled" in the United Kingdom immediately upon taking up residence.
From 1 June 2002, citizens of Switzerland are accorded EEA rights in the United Kingdom.
Greek citizens did not acquire full Treaty rights in the United Kingdom until 1 January 1988[citation needed] and citizens of Spain and Portugal did not acquire these rights until 1 January 1992[citation needed].
Non-British children with an EEA/Swiss parent may be registered as British once the parent becomes "settled" in the United Kingdom under the terms of the Immigration Regulations dealing with EEA citizens.
There is a separate entitlement for any such UK-born child to be registered as British if he or she lives in the United Kingdom until age 10, irrespective of parent's (or child's) immigration status.
Registration is a simpler method of acquiring citizenship than naturalisation, but only certain people are eligible for it.
British nationals (other than British citizens) who have indefinite leave to remain in the UK or right of abode, are eligible for British citizenship by registration after five years' residence in the United Kingdom. This is an entitlement under s4 of the 1981 Act (section 4 registration).
Other cases where persons may be entitled to registration (either as a matter of law or policy) include:
The British Nationality Act 1981 contains provisions for acquisition and loss of British Dependent Territories citizenship (BDTC) (renamed as British Overseas Territories citizenship (BOTC) in 2002) on a broadly similar basis to those for British citizenship. The Home Secretary has delegated his powers to grant BOTC to the Governors of the Overseas Territories. Only in exceptional cases will a person be registered or naturalised as a BOTC by the Home Office in the United Kingdom.
On 21 May 2002 any BOTC who did not hold British citizenship (except those from the Sovereign Base Areas) automatically acquired it under the British Overseas Territories Act 2002. Those acquiring BOTC after that date are entitled to register as British citizens under s4A of the 1981 Act.
It is currently unusual for a person to be able to acquire British Overseas citizenship, British National (Overseas), British subject or British protected person status. They are not generally transmissible by descent, and nor are they open to acquisition by registration, except for certain instances to prevent statelessness.
The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 granted British Overseas Citizens, British Subjects and British Protected Persons the right to register as British citizens if they have no other citizenship or nationality and have not after 4 July 2002 renounced, voluntarily relinquished or lost through action or inaction any citizenship or nationality. Previously such persons would have not had the right of abode in any country, and would have thus been de facto stateless. Despite strong resistance from Senior Officials at the Home Office, the then Home Secretary, David Blunkett, said on 3 July 2002 that this would "right a historic wrong" which had left stateless tens of thousands of Asian people who had worked closely with British colonial administrations (see UK to right 'immigration wrong', BBC 5 July 2002).
British Overseas citizenship is generally held by persons connected with former British colonies.
Most former BDTCs by virtue of a connection with the former dependent territory of Hong Kong will now either be British Nationals (Overseas) (with or without citizenship of the People's Republic of China), British Overseas citizens, or solely citizens of the PRC (The deadline for registering as a British National (Overseas) passed in 1997). There is no provision to acquire British National (Overseas) although stateless children born to such persons may be entitled to British Overseas citizenship and can apply to register as British citizens.
In some cases, former BDTCs from Hong Kong have been able to acquire British citizenship (BC) under special legislation passed in 1990, 1996 and 1997. In other cases, some former Hong Kong BDTCs hold British citizenship as a matter of entitlement or through acquisition under normal rules.
Most of these British nationals (BC and BN(O)) aforementioned have been recognized by the People's Republic of China as its citizens before and after the handover of Hong Kong. These PRC citizens of Hong Kong origin have been categorised differently from other PRC nationals from Macau and Mainland China. See the articles HKSAR passport, Home Return Permit and Chinese nationality law.
In February 2006, in response to extensive representations made by Lord Avebury and Tameem Ebrahim, British authorities announced that six hundred British citizenship applications of ethnic minority children of Indian descent from Hong Kong were wrongly refused. The applications dated from the period July 1997 onwards. Where the applicant in such cases confirms that he or she still wishes to receive British citizenship the decision will be reconsidered on request. No additional fee will be payable by the applicant in such cases. A template to request reconsideration is available for those who wish a prior application to be reconsidered.
Approximately 800,000 persons born before 1949 and connected with the Republic of Ireland remain entitled to claim British subject status under section 31 of the 1981 Act. See also British nationality and the Republic of Ireland
Eligible descendants from the Electress Sophia of Hanover may hold British Overseas citizenship based on their status as British subjects before 1949. Where such a person acquired a right of abode in the UK before 1983, it is possible for British citizenship to have been acquired. See also History of British nationality law and Sophia Naturalization Act 1705
All categories of British nationality can be renounced by a declaration made to the Home Secretary. A person ceases to be a British national on the date that the declaration of renunciation is registered by the Home Secretary. If a declaration is registered in the expectation of acquiring another citizenship, but one is not acquired within six months of the registration, it does not take effect and the person is considered to have remained a British national.
Renunciations made to other authorities are invalid: e.g., a general renunciation made upon taking up U.S. citizenship. The forms must be sent through the UK Border Agency's citizenship renunciation process.
There are provisions for the resumption of British citizenship or British overseas territories citizenship renounced for the purpose of gaining or retaining another citizenship. This can generally only be done once as a matter of entitlement. Further opportunities to resume British citizenship are discretionary.
British subjects, British Overseas citizens and British Nationals (Overseas) cannot under any circumstances resume their British nationality after renunciation.
British subjects (other than British subjects by virtue of a connection with the Republic of Ireland) and British protected persons will lose their British nationality upon acquiring any other form of nationality, whether British, Commonwealth or foreign.
Under amendments made by the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, British nationals can be deprived of their citizenship if the Secretary of State is satisfied "deprivation is conducive to the public good". This provision has been in force since 16 June 2006 when the Immigration, Nationality and Asylum Act 2006 (Commencement No 1) Order 2006 came into force. This provision only applies to dual nationals, and does not operate to render a person stateless.
Previously, since 2003, under amendments made by the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, British nationals could be deprived of their citizenship if the Secretary of State is satisfied they are responsible for acts seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the United Kingdom or an Overseas Territory.
British nationals who are naturalised or registered may have their certificates revoked (and hence lose British nationality) if British nationality was obtained by fraud or concealment of a material fact.
Since the British Nationality Act of 1948, there is in general no restriction, in United Kingdom law, on a British national being a citizen of another country as well. So, if a British national acquires another nationality, they will not automatically lose British nationality. Similarly, a person does not need to give up any other nationality when they become British.
Different rules apply in the cases of British protected persons and certain British subjects. A person who is a British subject otherwise than by connection with the Republic of Ireland will lose that status on acquiring any other nationality or citizenship. Similarly, a British protected person will no longer be a British protected person on acquiring any other nationality or citizenship. Although British Overseas citizens are not subject to loss of citizenship, a British Overseas citizen may lose an entitlement to register as a British citizen under s4B of the 1981 Act if he acquires any other citizenship.
Many other countries, however, do not allow dual nationality (see Multiple citizenship). If a person has British nationality, and is also a national of a country which does not allow dual nationality, the authorities of that country may either regard the person as having lost that nationality or may refuse to recognize his British nationality. If a person is a British national, and he acquires the nationality of a country which does not allow dual nationality, he may be required by the other country to renounce his British nationality in order to retain the other citizenship.
Under international law, the Master Nationality Rule states that a State may not give diplomatic protection to one of its nationals in a country whose citizenship that person also holds. For example, if a person is both British and American, he cannot be given diplomatic help by a British Consul in the United States.
A British person who acquired foreign citizenship by naturalisation before 1949 may have lost British nationality at the time. No specific provisions were made in the 1948 legislation for such former British subjects to acquire or otherwise resume British nationality, and hence such a person would not be a British citizen today. However, women who lost British nationality on marriage to a foreign man before 1949 were deemed to have reacquired British subject status immediately before the coming into force of the 1948 act.
From 1 January 2004, all new applicants for British citizenship by naturalisation or registration aged 18 or over if their application is successful must attend a citizenship ceremony and either make an affirmation or take an oath of allegiance to the monarch, and also make a pledge to the United Kingdom.
Citizenship ceremonies are normally organised by:
Persons from the Republic of Ireland (born before 1949) reclaiming British subject status under section 31 of the 1981 Act do not need to attend a citizenship ceremony. However, should such a person subsequently apply for British citizenship by registration or naturalisation, attendance at a ceremony will be required.
For those who applied for British citizenship before 2004:
British nationals who are "United Kingdom nationals for European Union purposes", namely:
are European Union citizens under European Union law.
However, by virtue of a special provision in the UK Accession Treaty, British Citizens who are connected with the Channel Islands and Isle of Man (i.e. considered "Channel Islanders and Manxmen") do not have the right to live in other European Union countries (except the Republic of Ireland, through the long-established Common Travel Area) unless they have connections through descent or residence in the United Kingdom.
The Home Office Research and Statistics Division publishes an annual report with statistics on grants of British citizenship broken down by type and former nationality. Since 2003, the report has also included research on take-up rates for British citizenship.

All of the political parties at the Wexford County Council have thrown their support behind a motion that calls for the removal of fluoride from Ireland's water supply. In doing so, they have thrown their support behind the cooks and the conspiratorial elements of our society. The same science-denying homeopathy-pushing elements of our society that use amateur videos on Youtube as a source of information.
I'm a bit amazed by it all, to be honest. I mean, the people that we elected to represent us at a local level have decided to throw their support behind unproven nonsense. The facts and the figures and the opinions of those who actually know what they're talking about have been cast aside. The hard-working men and women in lab coats have been overruled, so to speak – Overruled by a loud minority of chemtrail-spotting conspiracy theorists that believe in things such as faith-healing.
Is fluoride dangerous?
Yes, fluoride can be dangerous, IF the concentration of fluoride is high enough. Is the level of fluoride in our water dangerous? No, absolutely not. Think about it this way – To reach a level that would be considered dangerous, we'd have to multiply the level of fluoride in our water supply by about 100. That's a big effin' number.
But studies have shown that fluoride is dangerous…
Anti-fluoride campaigners have a nasty habit of misinterpreting studies. They will see what they want to see and disregard the rest. They will also quote studies that have nothing to do with water fluoridation. i.e. Studies that were based on concentrations that are much higher than what it is found in our water supply. If a study concluded that necking down 15 pints of lager on a Saturday night was bad for you; would you use that study as evidence that a glass of beer is detrimental to your health?
OMG, the government is medicating us!
Bullcrap. Fluoride is a mineral and the whole "you are medicating us!" crap has been squashed by the Supreme Court (both in Ireland and in the US). Did you know that fluoride naturally occurs in water? Check out Argentina.
We're the only country that does this!
Nonsense. Fluoridation is used throughout the world. In a number of European countries, it is added to common foodstuff such as milk.
It is costing us money!
It will cost even more money if we remove fluoride from the water supply in Ireland. Are you willing to pay for the increased dental care of people in 5-10 years time? Are you willing to pay extra taxes to support those who receive "free" dental care from our government? I bet not. Ironically enough, many of the people that are pushing for a ban on fluoride will end up protesting on the streets if its removal leads to higher taxes.
To be honest, I can't believe that the Wexford council members would be taken in by such nonsense. It has really shown them up to be a bunch of clueless fools. The worst thing is: All of the facts and information are available to anyone with access to Google, so it is pretty clear that these people didn't even bother to research the peer-reviewed studies before voting.
I will be giving my vote to the newer candidates next time around.

By Kenneth Stepp
Have you ever been involved in a car crash? Most of us have on some level. The sudden jarring and the sound of an immovable thud. There's really nothing quite like it. You remember that moment your entire life. The suddenness is dwarfed by the feelings just after the crash. It's surreal, like you know something huge just happened. But your mind just can't wrap around it all yet. In that moment, change took place. How long will that change last? If the car is the only thing damaged, it's insignificant and in no time, life goes back to normal. If you live the rest of your life in a wheelchair. Well, you get my point. At the moment of the crash, changes are in motion. You really can't know how they will play out. Time will tell you…
I recently went through some changes of my own. They began years ago. Two to be exact. I realized I had fallen deeply in love with what had been a good friend. Time tells us what is real and what isn't, not feelings. These changes escalated on my birthday, August 6th. Still my friend, she invited me to have dinner and a movie. My life would never be the same, as friends we met often, spoke often, and cared deeply. This was different. She was different. This time, we were all of the sudden a couple. A dream come true for me, I was in love and she returned my love. I felt safe and had visions of a wonderful future. Imagine waiting two years for this chance, only to have it slip away after only 2 months. We crashed. And everything changed…
We did what most couples do, or at least what many do. We kept talking and began dreaming again. Maybe, just maybe, we could fix this. So we decided to work towards this goal. We both knew we had deep feelings. We both knew we made a pretty great couple. The chemistry had always been there. Add to that the deep feelings and mutual respect. It was a relationship bursting with possibilities. But we knew other things as well. This was a person who knew me when I was on the bottom wrung of life. I never hid anything from her, she knew me better than anyone on Earth. I was honored she even considered me because of how well she knew me. We knew there would be challenges, one big one was, she owns a farm. I am a city boy. In the end, this was too big to overcome. In the end, we found ourselves stumbling around the crash site unsure about what really happened. In the end, we ended.
I'm told that if we learn from a bad experience that our loss wasn't a loss. I'd argue that my heart disagrees. But learn I did. And I'm certain she did as well. Relationships are so fragile. More-so these days than in the past. In an age where we communicate by text, message, and email. The meaning of our words are lost. A simple spark can turn into a giant flame. Just because we didn't understand what words shared meant. Everyone these days believe there are so many options, when "real" is so elusive, the illusion of options wins most days. Is it any wonder there are so many singles on a quest for the person they were meant to be with? The person God has for them? Their soulmate? What if that person came and went already? What if God sent them, fate drove them to your door, and they stood before you? Flawed and looking temporary, you dismissed them like the rest, only to wait for someone who will never appear. They can't appear, they already did. I think about things like this because I see so many relationships come and go. Humans rejecting humans. Love tossed aside for whatever reason. I have written about lost love for years. It breaks my heart to think of real love being overlooked or lost. For me, I was determined yet still failed. For me, I will never try again, or at least that's my mindset right now. I'm emotionally spent. Anyone who has traveled these roads know exactly what that feels like. It's both deep and empty at the same time. So fully hurtful that you never want to risk it again. But will you?
"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation."
― Kahlil Gibran
Love is a strange thing when it's real. It is a permanent thing. Where infatuation, lust, desire, etc are temporary things. I told someone recently that life is full of trade-offs. Most of us trade a permanent heart for a temporary option we can only hope for. I've lived it. I have loved and lost, I hope, for the very last time. Feelings cannot replace love, although we continue to try to make them. The sun is bright and permanent. A candle shines as bright when close, but never lasts. Losing love, like the car wreck. It all happens in a moment, and you never forget it…
"When the sun has set, no candle can replace it."
― George R.R. Martin

Evinrude is a Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) brand. BRP is a motorized recreational vehicle specialist and responsible for Sea-Doo watercraft and Johnson outboards too. Bombadier products are manufactured in five countries and distributed in 90. Problem with Evinrude outboards not staying running can be related to the overheating, starting procedure, fuel and the self-test. Issues like these can be corrected by following some steps.
Check that the fuel tanks have a fuel in them if the engine starts but doesn't run for any length of time. Look for kinks in the fuel line.
Check the water intake screens are below the water surface. Evinrude outboards use water for cooling and damage can occur rapidly if water is absent. Make sure the outboard isn't overheating due to lack of water. Under certain circumstances this can cause the engine not to stay running. Check the water inlets for obstructions if you're using the outboard in water with a significant number of weeds. The inlets are forward of the propeller on the leading edge of the outboard.
Return the throttle to "Idle" if you continue to have problems and follow the correct starting procedure again. Turn the key clockwise to the "Start" position and try to start the motor. If it doesn't start, release the key for a moment and try to start it again. Allow the starter motor to crank for up to 20 seconds. Listen for the half-second beep that indicates self-tests were successful.
Check that the Engine Monitor Warning (EMM) system isn't shutting the engine down. Under certain circumstances the engine will shut down to prevent damage. Overheating is one such circumstance. Look for indications the EMM has come into play. "No Oil," "Water Temp," "Hot," "Check Engine" or "Fault" can all indicate problems that can cause the engine to shut down.

What's New in Version 1.2 (See full changelog)
- 1.1 Updated module information
- 1.2 Upload Jon's fix to make module version 11 compliant.
BTW, I am 60 and started learning Hebrew about a year ago? I don't remember exactly. I have been slowly working through it and use many free to low cost resources.
When I installed it into e-sword, all the Hebrew words were gibberish western letter characters although all the English lettering and numbering came out right. Is there a fix for this?
I installed this hebrew bible on e-sword desktop version 10 and words were display correctly, but then upgraded to e-sword version 11 and words were gibberish.
Also, I converted the .bblx to bbli for using on my iPhone but again words were gibberish. Do this module/bible needs to be upgraded to be compatible with latest versions of e-sword bith desktop and iOS versions?
thanks in advance!
thanks for the fix!! I can now read both Tanach and Brit Chadashah in Hebrew! Uploaded bibles in my iPhone and PC -- Works! Thanks a bunch!!!!
Kepping an backup e-Sword10.exe executable in same folder with e-Sword.exe is working atm.
I was looking around on how to fix and maybe we can bind this two again.
The last version is working. Thank You!
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Why is the first verse in each chapter just gibberish?
Deu 32:1 HWSG äÇàÂæÄéðåÌ äÇùÌÑÈîÇéÄí åÇàÂãÇáÌÅøÈä åÀúÄùÑÀîÇò äÈàÈøÆõ àÄîÀøÅé-ôÄé:
That is what I see. All the other verses are fine -- only the first verse.
I got it to work. Even though I had installed the latest version. I had to delete the file and reinstall it. It works now.

Phrase of the Day: "The Brazilian Straddle"
for a more technical but very entertaining read: "Trading and Exhanges" by Larry Harris. eg in this book I learnt about "the Brazilian straddle" options position: a naked short option position hedged with a one way ticket to Brazil. (in case the bet goes against you)
The natural followup question: how does a person already living in Brazil make a Brazilian straddle?

6 comments:
Hi Janelle, this is just a general comment, it does not apply to this post. I just could not locate your "contact" button...I just wanted to tell you that you inspired my Christmas card for this year with the Blue & Green post. Can I e-mail you an image of it?ReplyDelete
I love your blog! many thanks
Emily (Town And Country Shuffle Blog)Replies
Hi Janelle, I can not wait to see Les Mis I hear that it is quite extraordinary.Good tips for holiday viewing. When do you go to bed!!!! X TrishReplyDelete
Hi Janelle.ReplyDelete
I am so looking forward to seeing Le Mis when it comes out. I saw the stage show years ago and it is just so moving. The song 'I Dreamed A Dream' always brings me to tears and Anne Hathaway sings it beautifully.
I must be the only person who has not seen a stage production of Les Miserables, so that movie will be a must see.ReplyDelete
Other people do boxing day sales, but I love going to the movies on boxing day.

A compact newspaper is a broadsheet-quality newspaper printed in a tabloid format, especially one in the United Kingdom. The term as used for this size came into use after The Independent began producing a smaller format edition in 2003 for London's commuters, designed to be easier to read when using mass transit.[1]
Readers from other parts of the country liked the new format, and The Independent introduced it nationally. The Times and The Scotsman copied the format as The Independent increased sales. The Times and The Scotsman are now printed exclusively in compact format following trial periods during which both broadsheet and compact version were produced simultaneously. The Independent published its last paper edition on 20 March 2016 and now appears online only.
The term "compact" was coined in the 1970s by the Daily Mail when that newspaper moved to a tabloid format, although the Mail now calls itself a tabloid. "Compact" is used to differentiate newspapers with more traditional content from those with a flamboyant or salacious publishing style, even though they may share the same size. The functional opposite of compact is red top, as the nameplates of British sensationalist tabloids tend to be red.

Nikki Sixx is one of the most important Rockstars from the 80's. He is the bassist of the famous band Motley Crüe. And even if he is mostly known for his drug addiction, he is an idol to many fans of Rock who want to make it big in the music industry. His story is not just about an addiction to heroin, but to music. And that is all that matters.
1Know the music. Listen to every Motley Crüe song until you know them by heart, watch the music videos, etc.
2Get to know about the rest of the band: Vince Neil (vocals), Mick Mars (guitar), Nikki Sixx (bass) and Tommy Lee (drums).
3Listen to Sixx a.m. and also learn as much about the rest of the members: James Michael (vocals) DJ Ashba (guitar) and Nikki Sixx (bass).
4Research as much as you can about Nikki Sixx. Google him and learn as much as the internet can let you.
5Read "The Heroin diaries, a year in the life of a shattered Rockstar" and "The dirt". These books would help you understand Nikki much better and learn more than what the internet alone can teach you. By reading the diaries you would understand why is it important to listen to Sixx a.m. and the meaning of their songs. At this moment you can stop and say "I don't want to be a fan of an ex-drug addict rockstar" but you also have to understand the reasons why he started doing drugs in the first place. By reading his journal and "The dirt" you will understand some of the reasons why he started using drugs.
6Learn to play the bass. And most importantly: learn to play Motley Crüe and Sixx:a.m. songs. If you already know how to play an instrument, try to learn the songs that they play. But remember: Nikki Sixx is a bassist so it is better if you play bass.
7Start showing your love for the Crüe and for Nikki by doing simple stuff like listening to Motley Crüe songs in public. If someone asks you "What are you listening to?" just tell them "I'm listening to Girls Girls Girls" or whatever song you are listening to.
8Wear band T-shirts and other Motley Crüe Items that you can get.
9Write an assignment for school about Motley Crüe, Nikki Sixx, or anything that shows your love for Motley Crüe. Do whatever you can to show your love for Vince, Mick, Tommy and specially Nikki Sixx.
10GET A SIKKI MIND. Try to be a little bit more like Nikki, a true fan would not change his/her whole life just to be like him, but if you like how he is and it fits your personality, go ahead! Don't feel forced to change your religion. Nikki believes in God, even if he is not from a specific religion, so he started doing a lot of satanic stuff when he did "shout at the devil" because he thought that it looked cool. But even he says that it wasn't his smartest idea, so don't do it.
11Give your room/house a more gothic make-over. Nikki also loves to buy antiques. If you can't afford antiques just hit the garage sales.
12Try to get into Aerosmith and Kiss, and especially the New York Dolls. . Johnny Thunders is a big deal for him.
13Defend Nikki. A lot of people will trash him and say crap about him, so be ready to tell them to back off.Advertisement

We could not be more excited about sharing this beautiful wedding that we photographed at St. Regis in Washington D.C! Despite attending the same high school and living two miles from each other most of their lives, Taylor and Ryan met at the end of their senior year in high school. They continued their relationship long distance for over four years, and got married after 7 years together.
On their wedding day, Taylor says being completely surrounded by people who care for you was the most indescribably wonderful feeling, and they were overwhelmed by the support and love of their families. One of the decisions to make before getting married is whether to have a first-look before the ceremony. As wedding photographers, it allows us more time to take photos beforehand and Taylor says that they both felt a huge sense of calm and relief after the first look, and we were so grateful that they had that moment together before the ceremony. One of their favorite pictures from the wedding is the moment after they were officially married - Zack captured the exact moment they were pronounced man and wife and all of the excitement they felt! We hope you enjoy seeing some highlights from Taylor and Ryan's wedding day and check out the other amazing wedding vendors that made everything come to life! Congratulations Taylor and Ryan!
