It’s wrong to execute wp_schedule_event in plugin activation and cronjob tag. The correct tag to hook is wp. WordPress internal cron system works by “request-response” method, it checks for scheduled events immediately after any request to the whole system, after checking the scheduled events, it loads next parts of the system.

How does one go about locking down transient API requests for multiple threading? Has anything done some benchmarking, just how much can the transient API handle for multiple concurrent requests? Under normal circumstances Transients API is essentially thin wrapper on top of Options API. The difference is that (unlike plain options) transients might make use … Read more
I just encountered this very same problem. I was trying to do wp_insert_post() from within a cron action, and the script would apparently just die during some save_post action handler. I tracked down my problem, which turned out to be a save_post handler which is used to save the POST data from a custom metabox. … Read more
