Hi there @Haitiancorner,
I think that the cron jobs might not be running correctly because of the & sign in your URL, it is a special character and it might be causing some unexpected behavior.
What I would do is to add the URLs in quots:
*/5 * * * * curl -s 'https://site.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true'
*/5 * * * * curl -s 'https://site.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&crondata=true'
After that change, you could check the /var/log/syslog log to see if the corn jobs are running every 5 minutes.
Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
