An asterisk in the minute (first) field tells it to run every minute, regardless of the other fields. You need to specify an exact minute to run within the hour. Be that on the hour (0), half past (30), etc.. 0 */2 * * * /path-to-script
Whenever I change the time intervals for ex: from ‘three_days’ to ‘five_minutes’ or from ‘five_minutes’ to ‘fifteen_minutes’, the cron is running with earlier frequency and not the updated one. Because you only reschedule the event if it does not exist: if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( ‘bd_cron_cache’ ) ) { // schedule } …which will always be … Read more
crontab -e then comment out each line you don’t want to run with #.
Cron fires outside of the standard WordPress loop, so $post will not be filled with any post-related data when the function is called. It should be obvious, then, that providing an ID directly isn’t referencing the non-existent $post variable which is why it works in that scenario. The best way to set post_statuses to expired … Read more
So no, I can’t see a way to grab the name of your action. However, you can pass arguments to your callback: $blog_id = get_current_blog_id(); $cron_name=”import_blog_posts_in_network_daily_”.$blog_id; if ( !wp_next_scheduled( $cron_name) ) { wp_schedule_event( time(), ‘daily’, $cron_name, array($blog_id) ); } add_action( $cron_name, array($this, ‘import_blog_posts_in_network’) ); /* public function import_blog_posts_in_network($blog_id) { // do something for blog $blog_id … Read more
First, you’ll have to determine an average time to execute your job. Run it once every minute, five times. Use error_log(‘Start’);, and error_log(‘End’); to mark the start time, and the end time. Take an average of all five results and round it up to full seconds. Prepare your job to execute its logic 6 times … Read more
You have to escape the % signs. They have a special meaning in crontabs: man (5) crontab: Percent-signs (%) in the command, unless escaped with backslash (\), will be changed into newline characters, and all data after the first % will be sent to the command as standard input.
You have to add filter: add_filter( ‘cron_schedules’, ‘minute_interval’ ); Otherwise your function minute_interval is not invoked, interval is not defined, and event doesn’t work.
This will run the command foo at 12:00AM on the first of every month 0 0 1 * * /usr/bin/foo This article describes the various fields, look to the bottom of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron To add this to your cron file, just use the command crontab -e
I believe you need to use wp_get_current_user() (see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_current_user ), which will return the current WP user information as an object. From there, you can get the user name (or other parameters). From that page, this example should get you started: $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); /** * @example Safe usage: $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); * if ( … Read more
