Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cron Monitor

Go to Tools → Cron Monitor. Scheduled Events lists every job. Run History shows what has actually run.

Check the Owner column. "Not observed yet" means the job has not run since you installed Cron Monitor. Check back after it runs.

Cron Monitor watches each job as it runs and tells you. "0 callbacks observed across 14 runs" is safe to delete. "Callbacks observed during cron" is not. If it has not seen the job run yet, it makes no recommendation.

It is almost always scheduled twice. The Events screen flags duplicates and shows exactly what it would remove before removing anything.

Open the Cron Health screen. It checks the usual causes and tells you what to fix. The most common one is a low-traffic site: WP-Cron only runs when someone visits. The fix is a real server cron job, and the Health screen gives you the lines to copy.

Yes. It checks from normal page visits and alerts you when a job is overdue twice in a row, fifteen minutes apart. A site that gets no visits at all cannot check itself, so use the REST health route with an external monitor for that.

Yes. Go to Tools → Cron Monitor → Settings and enter an email address, a Slack or Discord webhook, or both. The Send test alert button checks that they work.

No. On normal page views it does almost nothing. It only does real work while cron jobs run.

Yes. It only watches and reports. It does not take over WordPress cron.

No, and it never will. Running stored code is a security risk.
