Advanced Cron Manager PRO

WP-Cron management with run diagnostics

Advanced Cron Manager provides a dashboard to inspect and manage scheduled WP-Cron events. PRO includes entries of event runs and diagnostic details, connecting what is scheduled with what happened during execution and which code is attached to each event.

WordPress triggers WP-Cron when pages are visited, so tasks may not run exactly on time on low-traffic websites. The Server Scheduler feature can disable page-load triggering and provides instructions for setting up a real server cron job when more precise timing is needed.

Events, schedules, and timing

View each event’s hook, arguments, schedule, and next execution time. Search and filtering help find events; you can run one manually, pause or resume it, or add and remove events. Bulk actions manage multiple events at once, and copy-paste PHP snippets show an event’s action hook and callback.

You can view, add, edit, and remove custom cron schedules. PRO’s Advanced Scheduling (Schyntax) works with timing such as noon on the last day of the month, weekdays only, or every Tuesday and Friday. Event Rescheduling lets you change an event’s next execution date and schedule, which can help move heavier tasks away from peak hours.

PRO execution records and diagnostics

• Cron Logger: Review timestamps and status for event runs, including whether each succeeded or failed.
• Performance Stats: See execution time and peak memory usage per event.
• Error Catcher: Catch fatal errors from cron callbacks and show them in the log.
• Debug Tool: Log custom data from a callback with do_action('advanced-cron-manager/log').
• Event Listeners: Inspect the functions and methods hooked into each event.

Installation and event lifecycle

Install and activate the plugin on the WordPress website where you manage WP-Cron, then open its dashboard under Tools. Pausing an event unschedules it and stores it in wp_option; resuming it schedules it again. Events you make remain after add-on deactivation, while custom schedules are available only while the plugin is active. A 14-day money-back guarantee is provided for Advanced Cron Manager PRO.
