I think that is the wrong way. What you might consider to to is to create an wp_schedule_event and then run http://www.abc.de/wp-cron.php per cPanel-Cron, that should work and will be a better way in the “idea” of WordPress. -Edit- Create an cron.php (or whatever you would like to call that file) in you plugin. Than … Read more
You can remotely create posts programmatically via XML-RPC e.g. PHP http://www.nickycakes.com/post-to-wordpress-remotely-with-xmlrpc-in-php/ Java http://code.google.com/p/wordpress-java/ Of note, the media library handles image EXIF data etc, it might be more convenient to switch from using posts to just displaying the latest uploaded attachments that do not have a parent post (attachments with a parent post are attached to … Read more
Ok that was pretty easy // Set the CRON for pages wp_schedule_event( current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) + 450, self::FB_CRON_FREQUENCY, self::FB_CRON_PAGES, array( Ai1ec_Facebook_Graph_Object_Collection::FB_PAGE ) ); // Set the CRON for groups wp_schedule_event( current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) + 900, self::FB_CRON_FREQUENCY, self::FB_CRON_GROUPS, array( Ai1ec_Facebook_Graph_Object_Collection::FB_GROUP ) ); // Set the CRON for users wp_schedule_event( current_time( ‘timestamp’ ) + 1350, self::FB_CRON_FREQUENCY, self::FB_CRON_USERS, … Read more
Using mysql queries to delete custom post types based on meta_value
Ohh Sorry, It was my mistake! It was caching problem. Whoever facing such problems, just try to disable Database Cache(of Total Cache) plugin. This caching is now pre-inistalled in all your new wordpress installation.
In your functions.php you can use this. You will have to activate your theme again for it to take effect. You only want to schedule a cron job on activation, not on activation NOT on every page load, which is what the functions.php does, it loads on every page load. This would be betterused in … Read more
WordPress can’t seem to handle tens of thousands of scheduled posts? Cron Breaks
Wondering if there was an issue with using a class based plugin and the order in which things are instantiated and called, I rewrote the plugin using “procedural” functions (I’m not exactly sure of the terminology for this … A non-class based plugin) and it is working as intended.
The wp_schedule_single_event function in cron.php (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.7.1/src/wp-includes/cron.php#L0) has a comment which says: // don’t schedule a duplicate if there’s already an identical event due in the next 10 minutes So I’d say that no it won’t trigger lots of calls for earlier in the day.
The point of the wp-cron is to spawn separate process to run events in. It isn’t quite perfect and sometimes spawning process slows down page view noticeably, however it is vastly better than executing some heavy operation at the start of random visitor’s page load.
