WP-Crontrol 0.3 Released

April 26, 2008 @ 3:49 am · Tags: , ,

Update (6/6/08): WP-Crontrol has hit 1.0! Check out the release post.

WP-Crontrol is a plugin I wrote that’s been up on WordPress.org for a couple months now, but I’ve just today finished a version that has all the features and polish to be called a release. WP-Crontrol lets you take control over what’s happening in the WP-Cron system. Here’s what it let’s you do:

  • Add new cron schedules that can be used by other plugins to set intervals for cron entries.
  • Add new cron entries manually. The user must then add the code for the cron entry somewhere in code.
  • Modify existing cron entries. This allows you to change the time of a cron entry to a more convenient time (for example, midnight for a backup).
  • Execute existing cron entries immediately.

The biggest feature planned for the next version is the ability to enter PHP code for the cron entry directly in the administration interface. This will allow a user to add a cron entry completely from within the browser.

    Thanks for this plugin. It meets a need that I have fairly often: to see and modify scheduled WP cron jobs.

    If I may suggest as a feature in an upcoming release, I would like some more options and flexibility in creating cron job action hooks.

    Glad you like it! What kind of options and flexibility are you looking for?

    Right now there is a drop-down with a few options for recurring times, but it would nice if the number and kind of interval were separate choices. So, for example, you could choose “every 6 hours” or “every 7 hours.” And it would be great to schedule a one-time occurrence.

    Thanks again!
