Welcome to the forum! By default, wp-cron runs every time an HTTP request is made to a WordPress site. For this reason, really popular websites have found it necessary to disable the default wp-cron functionality and replace it with a real cron job. There are several articles available on how to do this. Using the … Read more
Solved by: //Check and set/unset user to able the script to run as admin wp_set_current_user(1); $link = get_edit_post_link($post_to_private->ID); wp_set_current_user(0); Thanks Sally CJ,
require_once( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . ‘/libraries/action-scheduler/action-scheduler.php’ ); /** * Schedule an action with the hook ‘eg_midnight_log’ to run at midnight each day * so that our callback is run then. */ function eg_log_action_data() { if ( false === as_next_scheduled_action( ‘eg_midnight_log’ ) ) { as_schedule_recurring_action( strtotime( ‘midnight tonight’ ), DAY_IN_SECONDS, ‘eg_midnight_log’ ); } } add_action( ‘init’, … Read more
Question: Will each instance try to run the same job Yes! If you have 5 machines running the same site, they’ll all try to run the cron job. It’ll be inconsistent, but if machine 1 triggers WP Cron and there’s an event ready to run, and machine 2 triggers WP Cron, then machine 2 will … Read more
If your site is using HTTP Authentication (you know, the dialog/prompt that pops up and asks for your username and password), WP Cron will not work. This is because WP Cron does not present the proper login credentials when making the request. To help with this, there is a free plugin that enables WP Cron … Read more
WP CLI to the rescue! Instead of using php and trying to figure out the rest, install it on the server and just have your cron execute wp cron event run –due-now –path=/home/mysite_staging/www/example.com/

Ok, things are working now. Not sure if it was fact that cron environment didn’t have its PATH set as needed, or if there was other reason, but I followed the instructions here: https://peterwilson.cc/real-wordpress-cron-with-wp-cli/ and https://purpleturtlecreative.com/blog/2020/02/how-to-replace-the-wordpress-cron-with-a-linux-cron-job/ So now, my crontab is PATH=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/sbin:/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin * * * * * /bin/bash /folder/wordpresscron.sh (with newline after the crontab entry) … Read more
Simply check if the event is scheduled, and if not, schedule it: add_action( ‘init’, function () { if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( ‘my_scheduled_event’ ) ) { wp_schedule_event( time(), ‘hourly’, ‘my_scheduled_event’ ); } } );
So yeah, it does give errors for trying to unschedule something that isn’t scheduled, but the answer is pretty easy and simple: $timestamp = wp_next_scheduled( ‘scheduled_hook’ ); if ($timestamp) wp_unschedule_event( $timestamp, ‘scheduled_hook’ ); Since wp_next_scheduled will return false for unscheduled hooks, a simple if in front of the call to wp_unschedule_event will prevent it from … Read more
