Cron event running more than once if triggered from WP Crontrol
I think I solved this issue. The reason seems to be that I had the following cron related constants set in my wp-config.php file: define( ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, false ); define( ‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true ); Since I am using a docker container here, I added ALTERNATE_WP_CRON and when using this we also need to set DISABLE_WP_CRON to true, … Read more
Does DISABLE_WP_CRON prevent plugins from registering new cron tasks?
Is this assumption valid? Or does DISABLE_WP_CRON actually block crons from running, and block plugins from registering new cron events? Yes, setting DISABLE_WP_CRON to true doesn’t actually block WordPress’ crons from running; it just prevents wordpress itself from initiating the events to run when your backend is triggered by a customer viewing your website.

Running one-off cron jobs when WP_DISABLE_CRON is true: can I hit /wp-cron.php?
The WP_DISABLE_CRON constant only removes WP-Cron from loading on the page so it’s no longer triggered by site traffic. You can absolutely hit the wp-cron.php file directly to trigger it.

Than … Read more
How does one programmatically manage posts from a external php script?

How to set-up multiple cron task with wp_schedule_event so that they do not overlap?
