Question:

I installed ExpressionEngine Low Search on my server, and I want to set up a cron job to trigger ExpressionEngine Low Search's cron job script. What should I do to set up the cron job?

Answer:

Our webcron service is best for triggering ExpressionEngine Low Search's cron job script. Just follow below simple steps to configure cron job for your ExpressionEngine Low Search:

  1. Open your cron job dashboard, click on " Cron Job" button.
  2. In field "URL to call", enter http://www.example.com/index.php?ACT=xx&key=xxxxx (replace www.example.com with your install location, replace ACT with your action ID and replace key with your license key). Choose an appropriate cron job execution frequency. Checkout below screenshot:
