Set up cron jobs

Cron jobs run commands on a schedule — for example a real WordPress cron for reliable scheduled posts and maintenance.

Steps

  1. Go to Websites → [site] → Cron.
  2. Click Add cron job.
  3. Set the schedule (how often it runs) and the command to execute.
  4. Save. Edit or remove jobs from the same page.

WordPress tip

For consistent scheduling, disable WordPress's built-in visitor-triggered cron and add a real cron job that runs wp-cron.php on a fixed interval (e.g. every 5–15 minutes).

Troubleshooting

  • Job didn't run — check the schedule and command syntax; confirm the path is correct.
  • Runs too often — widen the interval to reduce load.
