Personally, I would have just one (WordPress) cron event that fired daily. All queued emails are stored in a table/option. Now all you do in your cron handler is grab the next email in the queue, process it, and then delete it. There. One email a day. You could have the option in the UI … Read more
Your custom hook is never triggered because you are not subscribing to it the right way! Context Although you are calling it in your class function, it is never executed beyond that point. Place the add_action function somewhere else like in a plugins_loaded hook. Put it outside your class where it can be seen. Dependencies … Read more
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
Figured it out… I needed to use $post->ID instead of get_the_ID().
At first view, the schefuled task code in your code seems ok. I just would suggest to introduce scheduled tasks clearing on plugin deactivation; this is useful for several reasons and one of them can be the origin of your problem: if you was testing, the scheduled event can be already set and this snippet … Read more
For what it’s worth, I was running into the issue of the same message within WP-Cron Events but instead with a 404 “not found” code…it’s hunting for the file http://yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php. My issue turned out to be an improper file permission on my wp-cron.php file (644 instead of 666) which caused the wp-cron.php file to give … Read more

I’m a little unsure what “offer WordPress websites for them’ means in terms of implementation. But here are some questions I would ask when approaching this problem: How tightly coupled are the systems? Is this DB and the related WP sites running on the same server? For the DB on a dedicated server, do you … Read more
I am not sure why the remove_action isn’t working because by the looks of your code, it should. Alternatively, you can add the conditional logic to your generate_sitemap() function generate_sitemap() { global $create_sitemap; if ( $create_sitemap ) return false; $sitemap = ‘<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>’; $sitemap .= ‘<urlset xmlns=”http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9″>’; // Get a query of all jobs … Read more
First take a SQL dump of the database in the state you want it. Then you’d write a script that accomplishes the following: Put the WP install into maintenance mode by creating a file in wp-content with the filename .maintenance and contents “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.” (or your preferred … Read more
