Configure Cloudflare Settings To Bypass WP Cron

Other Jobs To Apply

We have been getting an Action Scheduler notice in our WordPress dashboard saying there are past-due actions ever since setting up Cloudflare.

I've tested the site on a staging server that isn't connected to Cloudflare and deactivated all the plugins. The staging site doesn't get the notice.

I installed the WP Control plugin on the live site, which gives us a 403 (firewall) error.

I'm 99% sure that Cloudflare is the culprit.

I've set up a rule in Cloudflare to bypass WP Cron, which shows events, so I know it's set up correctly, but I am still seeing the Action Scheduler notice in the WP dashboard.

We do have Super Bot Fight Mode enabled, which cannot be turned off, as the site receives heavy bot traffic and DDoS attacks.
