It's mainly useful for sites that either don't get enough comments to ensure a frequent execution of wp-cron or for sites where the execution of cron via regular methods can cause race conditions resulting in multiple execution of wp-cron at the same time. It can also help when you run into posts that missed their schedule.<\/p>\n\n<p>This plugin implements a secret parameter and ensures that cron jobs are only executed when this parameter is existing.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Limitations<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin performs a <code>remove_action( 'sanitize_comment_cookies', 'wp_cron' );<\/code> call in order to disable the spawning of new cron processes via the regular WordPress method. If <code>wp_cron<\/code> is hooked in an other action or called directly this might cause trouble.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ul>\n<li>Install either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the Plugin and ensure that you enable the feature in the plugins' settings screen<\/li>\n<li>Follow the instructions on the plugins' settings screen in order to set up a cron job that either calls <code>php wp-cron-control.php http:\/\/blog.address secret_string<\/code> or <code>wget -q \"http:\/\/blog.address\/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron&amp;secret_string\"<\/code><\/li>\n<li>If you like to have a global secret string you can define it in your wp-config.php by adding <code>define( 'WP_CRON_CONTROL_SECRET', my_secret_string' );<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>Version 0.7.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Security hardening (better escaping, sanitization of saved values)<\/li>\n<li>Update plugin to use core's updated cron hook<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Version 0.7<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Remove unneeded use of <code>$wpdb-&gt;prepare()<\/code> that triggered PHP warnings because a second argument wasn't provided.<\/li>\n<li>Update interface text to be translatable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Version 0.6<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure that validated wp-cron-control requests also are valid in wp-cron.php by setting the global $doing_wp_cron value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Version 0.5<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Adjustments for improved cron locking introduced in WordPress 3.3 http:\/\/core.trac.wordpress.org\/changeset\/18659<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Version 0.4<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Implementing feedback from Yoast http:\/\/yoast.com\/wp-plugin-review\/wp-cron-control\/, fixing button classes, more inline comments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Version 0.3<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added option to enable extra check that would search for missing jobs for scheduled posts and add them if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Version 0.2<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Added capability check in settings page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Version 0.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial version of this plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>Installation Instructions<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li>Install either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the files to your server.<\/li>\n<li>Activate the Plugin and ensure that you enable the feature in the plugins' settings screen<\/li>\n<li>Follow the instructions on the plugins' settings screen in order to set up a cron job that either calls <code>php wp-cron-control.php http:\/\/blog.address secret_string<\/code> or <code>wget -q \"http:\/\/blog.address\/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron&amp;secret_string\"<\/code><\/li>\n<li>If you like to have a global secret string you can define it in your wp-config.php by adding <code>define( 'WP_CRON_CONTROL_SECRET', my_secret_string' );<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>","raw_excerpt":"This plugin allows you to take control over the execution of cron jobs.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/14259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14259"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/automattic"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=14259"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=14259"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=14259"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=14259"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azb.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=14259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
