Warning: WordPress has a number (20) of scheduled tasks which are overdue

I saw the warning: Warning: WordPress has a number (20) of scheduled tasks which are overdue. Unless this is a development site, this probably means that the scheduler in your WordPress install is not working. Read this page for a guide to possible causes and how to fix it.

I had add it this to my htaccess in the past. Is this causing the problem?
<FilesMatch “.*”>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.88.x.x

</FilesMatch>

Yes, that’s possible. That rule means that only visits from 192.88.x.x can get through to WP’s scheduler, and so tasks will be backing up when nobody from that IP range is visiting the site. WP’s scheduler relies upon website visitors (since no visitors = WordPress doesn’t run = WordPress can’t service its scheduled tasks).

I add that for security reasons, I won’t remove the code. I’m using website firewall. firewall IPs are allowed, those IPs will visit the site regularly.

[yuanongParticipant]

no human vistors on those IPs

You need to set up something to visit /wp-cron.php regularly, if you have no human visitors. Otherwise, WordPress won’t be able to run its scheduled tasks.
