Events are deleteting themself

    Hello,

    I created an event running weekly. Then I went to functions.php to create the hook and the function (which was just sending an email).

    When I came back 5 minute later the event didn’t exist anymore.

    So I created a new event and said it was a one-time running. It worked, and the mail was sent.

    I came back to my website to change it to a weekly running, and… it didn’t exist anymore.

    Do you know what append? I see some other thread for deleting events, but it was not the same type of event as me.

    Short answer: No idea.

    Long answer: There are potentially several causes, but what it could be specifically I don’t know. Worth noting is that if your site registers cron events in code (with wp_schedule_event()) and there’s a problem then the problem can get hidden because the event will usually get rescheduled if it goes missing, and you won’t realise there was a problem. If you use a cron event management plugin such as WP Crontrol then that ability to detect a missing event doesn’t exist. But exactly why this happens is really a mystery.

    Take a read through the WP Crontrol wiki, I’ve written some hopefully useful information there: https://github.com/johnbillion/wp-crontrol/wiki/Problems-adding-or-editing-WP-Cron-events

    @mariecco I have the same issue, but I think there is a problem with the WP Core.

    Are you using the standard WP_CRON ? What is the hosting environment and php version of your site? I’m hoping to find a few different people with this issue to help me test & fix it.

    Hello @j3gaming ,

    I deleted the plugin and made my CRON by hand in PHP with WP_Cron. It’s working perfectly, so it’s not an issue with the WordPress Cron. It’s coming from the plugin.

    As I mentioned before:

    if your site registers cron events in code (with?wp_schedule_event()) and there’s a problem then the problem can get hidden because the event will usually get rescheduled if it goes missing, and you won’t realise there was a problem.?

    This doesn’t mean it’s working perfectly, it means the error is just being hidden because — presumably — your code is scheduling the event again once it sees that it doesn’t exist.

    As @j3gaming pointed out, there appears to be an underlying issue in WordPress core that has only become more visible since WordPress 6.1 when more error logging was put into place. I’ve not had much chance to investigate it myself but work is ongoing by the core team to dig into it.
