WordPress wp_update_plugins runs every request

  • I have a WordPress site that checks plugins for available update on every request as long as admin is logged in.

    The task suppose to run on wp_update_plugins during WP_CRON every 12 hours but it runs synchronously on each request. It adds almost 10 seconds to admin requests. WordPress version is 5.2.2

    Anyone know what may be causing the problem?

    Hi there,

    You can set an interval on when the wp-cron will run the job, however, if a visitor views the site from either the front-end or back-end of the site then it will ping the wp-cron.php file and run the cron jobs queued. Would you mind taking a screenshot of the wp_update_plugins cron job along with the time interval you have set? This will give me a better understanding of what’s happening as there may just be some misconfiguration set up with your cron job.

    Thanks,
    Tyler
