WP-Crontrol has hit 1.0! The powerful new features in this version allow you to take complete control over what’s happening in the WP-Cron system. Here’s what’s new:
Get your WordPress series in your XML sitemap
If you use the XML Sitemap Generator and Organize Series plugins for WordPress, then this is something you can use to get your series more noticed by Google and other search engines which pay attention to XML Sitemaps. If you take a look in your sitemap (http://example.com/sitemap.xml), you’ll notice that the series that you’ve been working hard to put together are no where to be seen.

WP-Crontrol is a plugin that lets a blog owner see through that magic and figure out what’s actually going on. In this post, I’ll discuss using WP-Crontrol to add a new cron schedule that can be used by WP Database Backup. This means backups when you want them.
