TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners running plugins like WooCommerce, WP Forms, or Jetpack that rely on Action Scheduler for background tasks. It solves the problem of Action Scheduler tables growing too large over time and degrading database performance by providing tools to clear and optimize them.

  • Clear completed, failed, canceled actions
  • Automatic clearing schedules
  • Optimize database tables
  • Customizable retention periods
  • Admin area interface
  • Manual clear via admin UI
  • WP-Cron scheduled cleanup
  • Background continuation for large jobs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WS Action Scheduler Cleaner

Yes, Action Scheduler Cleaner is fully compatible with WooCommerce and other plugins that use Action Scheduler.
No, this plugin only clears completed, failed, or canceled actions. It does not interfere with pending or in-progress actions.
Requires WordPress 6.3 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer (compatible with PHP 8.5).
Action Scheduler only shows status tabs when at least one action has that status in the database. This plugin does not remove or hide those tabs. If Complete or Failed never appear, there may be no rows with those statuses—common when millions of actions are stuck in pending and the queue cannot catch up. Cleanup Schedule (how often the plugin runs) is not the same as Retention Period (how old finished actions must be before deletion). Retention uses completion or last attempt time, matching Action Scheduler's built-in cleaner.
Cleanup Schedule sets how often this plugin's scheduled cleanup runs (1–365 days, or disabled). Retention Period sets the age threshold for deleting finished actions you selected. When a cleanup schedule is enabled, Action Scheduler's own continuous cleanup is turned off to prevent double deletion.
