Running background processes is either disabled

Hi,

We have an issue with the plugin displaying the message below.

Notice: Running background processes is either disabled or has failed in this environment.

Therefore you must leave this page open to complete caching.

This is on a WordPress 5.5 multisite environment. We can see no reason why this should be the case as its a public facing production site. We did experience this on our staging server, as we would expect, as that has basic auth on it.

Please can you advise of the best way to troubleshoot/resolve this.

Hi Diego

This can be caused by a variety of different things – but essentially what is probably not working is the function wp_remote_get, while keeping the current users’ session (which is required to authenticate the request).

This feature allows you to close the page and the cache will continue to rebuild, but if the wp_remote_get fails somehow, then it falls back to making Ajax requests (which is why you need to keep the browser open).

Without seeing the setup, it’s hard to guess, but, this is only a notice – so no issue as such.

There is also a setting, under our settings menu in wp-admin, which allows you to disable this feature, so it *could* be that, but that is sounding unlikely.
