If you are sure that you have not exceeded your API limit, you may like to turn on your WordPress debug mode to see if you can identify and resolve the problem. Our WordPress cron job for updating the lottery results will log messages when WordPress is in debug mode.
To turn on the debug mode, you can add the following lines into your wp-config.php file:
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false);When in debug mode, you can check the file /wp-content/debug.log for any errors or messages from our cron job.
Please note that it is not recommended to run WordPress in debug mode for live sites.
Alternatively, you can deactivate and re-activate the plugin.
