Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CronEngine: Real Cron Scheduler

Yes. The free plan is enough for one site every 15 minutes, and no card is needed. You can create the account during setup.

Yes. Nothing is installed on the server. CronEngine calls your site over HTTPS like a visitor would.

The plugin notices when CronEngine has not called for a while and lets WordPress run cron on page views again, as it did before. When CronEngine calls again, it switches back. I already set DISABLE_WP_CRON in wp-config.php. That is fine, CronEngine still runs cron. The only difference is that the safety net cannot switch visitor cron back on while that line is there. The plugin page tells you when this applies.

Yes. Action Scheduler runs from WP-Cron, so its queue is processed on CronEngine's schedule.

Yes. Connect each site from its own Tools, CronEngine page. My host blocks requests to wp-cron.php. Some security plugins and firewalls block it. Allow requests with the user agent "CronEngine-Dispatcher", or from 45.9.188.216.
