The error I get is " dial tcp: lookup 241017-sandpit.local: no such host". Apparently I need to bind my Local site to a static IP address. I have no idea how to do this.

Title: Setting up cron in CiviCRM running in Wordpress (Pantheon hosting)
ThreadText: # Setting up cron in CiviCRM running in Wordpress (Pantheon hosting)
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-10-29)
  
  I am having a lot of issues in trying to setting up cron in Wordpress (Pantheon hosting).
  I am trying to make it work by using EasyCron, I am following [this guide](https://www.easycron.com/cron-job-tutorials/how-to-set-up-cron-job-for-civicrm) but I am constantly getting 500 errors, all related to undefined constants/functions in Civicrm.settings.php
  
  I am slowing fixing every error one by one but it's painful and now I am questioning but maybe my civicrm.settings.php is not set up correctly to be fully compatible with Wordpress/Pantheon.
  
  I have found a [4 years old civicrm.settings.php](https://github.com/MegaphoneJon/civicrm-wp-pantheon/blob/master/civicrm.settings.php)related to Wordpress/Pantheon but I am wondering can help me out and share a more recent one.
  
  Thanks!

  Pantheon’s unique setup can make configuring cron for CiviCRM tricky. Double-check your civicrm.settings.php file to ensure paths and constants like CIVICRM\_UF are correctly set for WordPress and Pantheon. For EasyCron, verify you're using the proper URL, such as:
  <https://your-site.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron&key=YOUR_CIVICRM_KEY>.
  
  If the 500 errors persist, it could be related to file paths or your PHP version. You might also try using a WordPress plugin like WP Crontrol to simplify managing cron jobs.
  
  By the way, are you using Pantheon exclusively? I’ve been trying out [Cloudways](https://www.cloudways.com/en/) recently as I got a 40% Black Friday discount and found managing cron jobs directly from their platform really convenient. It might be worth exploring if you’re open to alternatives.
