It think that your problem is the you are passing the post ID as url parameter to facebook API: $url = get_the_ID(); Also, as get_posts return an array of post objects, you could use this code: $posts = get_posts(array(‘numberposts’ => -1) ); foreach($posts as $post) { $url = get_permalink( $post->ID ); $fbcount = json_decode( file_get_contents( … Read more
I’ve actually made a plugin called Social Metrics Tracker which does exactly what you are trying to achieve. Please also feel free to read the source code on GitHub. To answer your questions: You are right that running an hourly cron task to update all of the posts would cause a problem with even just … Read more
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

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.

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
