I use wordpress 4.9.6 and civiCRM 5.1.2 for wordpress in my cPanel: string command:

message mail: You need to send a valid key to execute this file. Why my key it's not valid? I took the key in cvicrm.settings.php Thanks

The cron url seem to be wrong, it should have been

https://mysite/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=<username>&pass=<password>&key=<site-key>

Thanks, I tried with: mysite/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/… without curl but I still have problems I have a doubt: do I have to change the cron.php file? username password site-key Thanks

in case it can serve someone with this code I no longer receive an error message in my e-mail; even the CiviCRM system status no longer reports errors; I didn't insert quotation marks, this is code: wget -O / dev / null -q -t 1 https: //site/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=my-admin&pass=my-pass&key=xxxxxx

The administrator manual has a section on how to setup the cron command. https://docs.civicrm.org/sysadmin/en/latest/setup/jobs/#cron
