_Beep boop, I’m a bot! I dug through the forum to get you started. I sometimes get things wrong though, so do with this what you will until a human has a look._ Which plugins do you have installed, and is WooCommerce one of them? Action Scheduler isn’t part of WordPress itself. Some plugins bundle it for background tasks, WooCommerce being the best-known.

This means WP-Cron events on your site may not work. The problem was: Unexpected HTTP response code: 403 Other Information WooCommerce issue, where Action Scheduler: 52 [past-due actions] found; something may be wrong. [Read documentation »](https://actionscheduler.org/faq/#my-site-has-past-due-actions-what-can-i-do) Unexpected HTTP response code: 401 or 403 ([Problems spawning a call to the WP-Cron system | WP Crontrol](https://wp-crontrol.com/help/problems-spawning-wp-cron/#unexpected-http-response-code-401-or-403)) This means an access control restrict… So, to tell which case yours is: does WordPress under Tools → Site Health show a WP-Cron error, such as “Unexpected HTTP response code”? If so, please quote it exactly. Our knowledge base also says InfinityFree doesn’t provide cron jobs or any other way to run scheduled tasks. The article is about Laravel, but the limit is general. > [@How to install a Laravel site on InfinityFree](https://forum.infinityfree.com/docs?topic=118578): > > Laravel is one of the most popular PHP frameworks, but it was not designed with regular shared web hosting in mind. Some parts of Laravel work out of the box on InfinityFree, some need a bit of configuration, and some features cannot be used at all.
