Trigger action without visit on Blog?

  • Hi,

    I’ve spent many hours working on a function that uploads a little thumbnail (~5k) when a post has been published for more than 30 minutes.

    Everything works, but the problem is that to be called (the function), someone has to view/load the page. And when the user loads the page, sometimes uploading the thumbnail slows the loading time by 2 or 3 seconds.

    I was wondering if someone knew a wp function or a plugin that would trigger the uploading process without someone having to load the page? So..basically, an automated function/action.

    I’ve read about CRON jobs in WordPress (WP-Cron), but after doing several tests, it didn’t seem to work.

    By the way, I’m on a shared server.

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Justin
