Problem with CRON

    We use WordPress for our Intranet site.

    We use the NADI Plug-in and have it set to block anonymous access and we have Windows Authentication enabled.

    with NADI we get to log in automatically when we hit the site.

    What I have noticed is that CRON is not running, I ran a Site Health Check and these are 2 problems that relate to CRON that caught my attention.

    The Rest API encountered an unexpected result
    The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages. 

    
The REST API call gave the following unexpected result: (401) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>IIS 8.5 Detailed Error - 401.2 - Unauthorized</title>

    Your site could not complete a loopback request
    Loopback requests are used to run scheduled events, and are also used by the built-in editors for themes and plugins to verify code stability.

    The loopback request returned an unexpected http status code, 401, it was not possible to determine if this will prevent features from working as expected.

    I’ve tried gooling this issue and none of the suggestions posted match my situation, even though I tried each of those suggestions and none of them have worked, and I think it’s because none of those people are blocking anonymous access and using Windows Authentication.

    Any ideas on what I can do?

    Hi @grojas1980! These are the forums for sites hosted at WordPress.com, and while I’d normally try to steer you toward an answer before sending you elsewhere, I have to admit I’m inexperienced with IIS and CRON, and I’m not familiar with NADI.

    If CRON is working otherwise and just not on tasks related to NADI and this site, can I recommend checking in with NADI support first? They’ll likely have a clearer idea as to what’s wrong. If all else fails, you might try the Advanced forums for the open-source WordPress software:
    https://wordpress.org/support/forum/wp-advanced/

    Hoping this helps a bit! And here’s the differences between our SAAS and the free software project: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/#overview-of-options

    Cheers!
