Body: <p>I run a cron in Cpanel for Civicrm to send a newsletter once a month.  After the upgrade to Joomla 3.8.0 the cron has stopped working. This issue seems to be a big issue with this Joomla upgrade.  I tried to have my web host install a backup, but they only keep backups for 24 hours and they were unable to restore the previous Joomla version.   I have very little cron knowledge and need help figuring out how to get a cron working for this new version of Joomla so I can send out emails to my groups in Civicrm.</p>
  
  <p>My current cron is the following:
  wget '<a href="http://www.divingrebels.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=login&amp;pass=password&amp;key=c121f216120e4362040e110a1f92db58" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.divingrebels.org/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cron.php?name=login&amp;pass=password&amp;key=c121f216120e4362040e110a1f92db58</a>' >/dev/null 2>&amp;1</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance

Comments.Text: I just discovered the same issue. In times past, it’s been a user permissions error but I can’t seem to correct it. It is returning a 500 error but my logs aren’t showing the error

  I run a cron in Cpanel for Civicrm to send a newsletter once a month. After the upgrade to Joomla 3.8.0 the cron has stopped working. This issue seems to be a big issue with this Joomla upgrade. I tried to have my web host install a backup, but they only keep backups for 24 hours and they were unable to restore the previous Joomla version.
