Try something like this: if (!wp_next_scheduled(‘update_members_types’)) { wp_schedule_event( time(), ‘daily’, ‘update_members_types’ ); } add_action ( ‘update_members_types’, ‘update_member_post_type’ ); function update_member_post_type() { $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘member’, ‘posts_per_page’ => ‘1’, ‘date_query’ => array( array( ‘after’ => strtotime( ‘-24 hours’ ) ) ) ); $members = get_posts( $args ); if ( $members ) { foreach ( … Read more
