cron job

  • I’ve disabled wordpress cron with:
    define (‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);
    then I added a cron job every 30 minutes to my hosting
    My question is: if I need to publish an article exactly at a particular time (6.45am), will wordpress execute it exactly?
    I read that there are events every 5 minutes, but what if my cron starts every half hour?

  • Your cron should run at the time specified for cron itself which will then check to see if cron needs to publish anything as it executes the tasks scheduled.

    So the publish would happen at the next cron run after the task scheduled time.

    I’d consider that acceptable for most tasks.

    so you advise me to set the cron every 15 minutes, or even less?
    could it affect server performance or my wordpress installation?
