Manage WordPress scheduled tasks with WPMasterToolKit's CRON Manager module

Scheduled tasks, or "cron jobs", are at the heart of many WordPress sites. Whether it's checking for updates, cleaning up drafts or scheduling publications, these automatic events keep many actions running smoothly in the background. However, WordPress doesn't offer a native interface for managing these tasks, making them difficult to track and customize. This is where CRON Manager module of WPMasterToolKit.

This module has been designed to simplify the management of WordPress cron events, offer a complete view of scheduled tasks, and allow users to intervene easily. Let's take a closer look at the features and benefits of this tool.

Which plugins can CRON Manager replace?

WPMasterToolKit's CRON Manager module can replace several popular plugins that manage cron tasks in WordPress, such as :

  • WP Crontrol a well-known plugin for viewing and editing cron events.
  • Advanced Cron Manager another solution for scheduled tasks.

With this module, you save resources by having an integrated solution, without the need for additional plug-ins.

Main features of the CRON Manager module

1. Viewing cron jobs

The module provides a clear, organized view of all scheduled tasks on your site. Each event displays :

  • Hook used (name of cron event).
  • Date and time of next run (in UTC and your local time zone).
  • Associated arguments and execution frequency (e.g. hourly, daily, weekly).

2. Pause and resume events

A powerful feature allows you to pause temporarily a specific cron event. This is useful if you want to deactivate a task without deleting it permanently. You can also resume pause an event at any time.

3. Event deletion

The module allows you to delete one or more cron events in just a few clicks. This option is ideal for cleaning up unnecessary or obsolete tasks that are weighing down your site.

4. Manual job execution

Need to test a task or force it to run ahead of schedule? The module includes an option to execute any cron event immediately. This eliminates the need to wait for an automatic trigger.

5. Creating and editing tasks

You can create new cron events or modify existing ones directly from the interface. This includes adding new hooks, configuring their arguments and setting their frequency.

6. WordPress Core event analysis

The module identifies standard WordPress hooks (such as wp_update_plugins or wp_version_check) and distinguishes these tasks from custom events, providing a clear view of what is native and what has been added.

7. Advanced protection

Certain sensitive tasks, such as internal PHP cron events, benefit from an extra level of security. The module prevents them from being deleted or modified if the user does not have the necessary permissions.

This module is simple and intuitive to use:

  1. Access CRON Manager
    Go to the WordPress administration menu, under WPMasterToolKit > CRON Manager.
  2. Browse events
    You'll see a table listing all scheduled cron events. You can sort tasks by schedule or type, and even apply filters to search for specific events.
