Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cron Setup and Monitor - Get URL Cron

Monitor websites and URLs on other servers to check if a service is running correctly. Execute WordPress shortcodes on a schedule. Generate Custom Post Types with the plugin JSON Content Importer.

When setting up a cron job, specify a "first run date and time" along with a recurrence interval. The plugin calculates subsequent execution times by adding the recurrence interval to the first run time. For example: first run at 6:00 AM, interval 15 minutes: jobs run at 6:00, 6:15, 6:30, etc.

Select the "Email only for failed jobs" option in the Basic Settings of the plugin.

WordPress 6.2 or higher is required. The plugin uses the %i identifier placeholder in $wpdb->prepare(), which was introduced in WordPress 6.2.

The plugin uses the manage_options capability for access control and should work on multisite. Each site manages its own cron jobs independently.
