Cronjobs keep getting scheduled without plugin installed

    Hi,

    I have noticed that one of my installed plugins (Disqus Conditional Load) is writing up to 40k tasks into the wp_options cron data set. That’s way too much…, so I decided to delete the cron entry first from the db table, but WordPress was still adding the same tasks again a few seconds after it.

    Then I have deactivated and removed the plugin, deleted the data set again and WP still adds those entries to it. I don’t really know how it is doing this – is the cron data somewhere else cached or how is this even possible?

    I was luckily able to fix it now by deleting the data set and immediately calling wp_clear_scheduled_hook("dsq_sync_forum"); in the functions.php afterwards. Huge performance boost if you jump from a 4 MB entry to a few KB with only one “dsq_sync_forum” task.
