This is what I see on mine:

What am I missing? I have the cron job (cron_bridge.php) running if that matters.
Thanks…

It looks like you've not yet set up the system scheduler (Cron). Scheduler-related features won't show up until you do.

Here's what I'm seeing in my host's cpanel:
Domain-specific example:
/usr/local/bin/ea-php99 /home/hhsnet/domain_path/path/to/cron/script
In the above example, replace “ea-php99” with the PHP version assigned to the domain you wish to use. Look in the MultiPHP Manager for the actual PHP version assigned to a domain.
Based on that I have this command set up for running every minute:
/usr/local/bin/ea-php71 /home/hhsnet/public_html/data/cron_bridge.php
So that looks to be the correct setup.

I just checked and actually there is a config option that's off. Sorry, forgot about that. You can find by searching the Admin Zone for "notification_enable_digests".
If it is Cron, to identify if Cron being wrong though, you can check it, run this in Commandr…
Code
:echo get_value('last_cron');
This site will allow converting the number to a date:
Epoch Converter - Unix Timestamp Converter
Composr will consider Cron running if it has run within the last 5 hours.

That was it. All the digests show up now.Chris Graham said

Thanks! That technique worked very well for giving me the confidence that the cron job was running properly.Chris Graham said

It will give you a unix timestamp (a number) that says when Cron last run.Code
:echo get_value('last_cron');

I very much appreciate your prompt and helpful responses to my "onion peeling" questions.
