clear your cache in Performance -- not sure if that will do it, but it might.

If I understand correctly poormanscron requires traffic to work correctly. Without traffic cron won't run.

Personally, I'd check my hosts documentation for how to set up a cron job on the server to call cron.php every hour.

You usually don't need root to configure a cron job-- even the cheapest shared hosting will often have some sort of control panel to configure cron. Check with your host on how to access it.

It's almost impossible to run a website without some sort of access-- as I said, even shared hosts have to allow this (you don't normally need SSH or root-- you should have some sort of webbased control panel to access your hosting account/website). Another option, if you're on windows, is you could setup a scheduled task to visit the url once an hour, but then it will depend on your pc and your internet access whether or not the cron script runs on the server.

Barring that, again, I point you to your host-- ask them how to you're supposed to run a scheduled job on their hosting service. we can sit here and make guesses all day long to no avail-- only you can verify with the host what you can and can't do.

You need to stop approaching this in the way you are. We're trying to guide to one the way to do this properly.

Who is your host? I'll locate the documentation for you in their knowledge base.

Otherwise, use google to locate a service to run cron.php every hour. These tasks do not require you to add code any file.

What is the name of the company that is providing your server?
Have you contacted your host about the services they provide with reference to cron jobs?

be careful with what you have there. You don't need 5 separate cron jobs spaced out every 10 minutes. You should set up 1 cron job to run every 10 minutes. As it stands looks like by the time you get to 50 minutes you'll have multiple cron jobs running at the same time which is unnecessary and could be resource intensive as you start to add content to the site.
