Answers.Body: <p>I'm not sure what you are using to run your crons but in the past I had a similar problem to this and it turned out to be a permissions problem in cli.php.  Have a look at root/.../wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php and ensure that it is executable.</p>

Body: <p>So going through CiviCRM, this error keeps popping up:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Cron Not Running</p>
  <p>No cron runs have been recorded.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Unfortunately, I have contacted my hosting provider and asked what cron isn't running related to CiviCRM, and they could not help me unless they knew the name of the cron. I tried seeing what it could be but I cannot find any information on this. I never had this error prior to updating to 4.7.4 from 4.6.10. I tried running a cron in the backend, like system update check, to see if it would fix it but it did not. What can I do to solve this issue?</p>
  <p>Thank you.</p>

Comments.Text: I have the same issue with this on 4.7.x. But cron jobs like bulk email are working correctly. This should be filed as a bug, or more explanation given by the crew.
