Is it OK to use a system cron to trigger a function hooked into the AJAX API
I have a real cron job setup and it seems to work. I have outlined the basics below.
wp-cron
Managing scheduled tasks
I want users of my plugin to be able to define whether a task operates daily, twice daily, hourly or not at all as per the standard WP set-up. I’m storing these as ‘daily’, ‘twicedaily’, ‘hourly’ or ” in the option obr_scheduled_interval.
How is WP Cron Locking implemented?
WordPress takes measures to ensure that a cron task doesn’t run twice when it should run once, e.g. once every hour when an hourly schedule is given, rather than the occasional twice at the scheduled time.
Bulk updating a group of WordPress Pages every 10 minutes
I need to bulk update 86 specific WordPress Pages every 10 minutes, with the term updating I mean the same thing as clicking the Blue Update Button on each page, and having them all update at the same time every 10 minutes. I guess I need to write a function into my theme functions.php file, and maybe trigger the function every 10 minutes with the help of the plugin WP Crontrol, or maybe using the Cron in cPanel. I’m a beginner and can’t code php, how can I do this? Thank you.
Activate Plugin Automatically After Set Time
please how do I activate a plugin after a set period of time automatically. For example, let’s say I want to activate Jetpack automatically after 3 weeks. Thanks
Run function after a post has finished saving – callback function perhaps?
Upon saving a new post (of a certain post type), a given operation has to run. The problem is that the operation is calling an external (slow) API, which means that the (not logget in) end-user might having to wait for 20-30 seconds, upon creating this new post (not good for the user-experience).
WP_cron keeps going back to the past
When I execute this command wp cron event list, this is the output:
Large WordPress CRON job
I’m programming the integration with external API (real estate). I have one CRON job which is planned for at 1 o’clock am. It’s running very well because I’m using server CRON initialize instead WP CRON standard so It’s running at the right time.
Do WordPress’ cron’s clean up expired transients?
WordPress has a cron named “delete_expired_transients” as seen in the image below.
Cron jobs when running multiple instances on the same DB
I have a user using my plugin that has multiple AWS instances hosting WP and pointing to the same database. One of the jobs of my plugins is to run a large number of small jobs.
