Hook with no action can not be deleted

If you take a look through the plugin FAQ you’ll see a couple of answers relating to events that reappear after you delete them. It’s almost certain that WooCommerce is simply rescheduling the event once it sees that it’s missing.

If you don’t want this to run, you can use WP Crontrol to pause it instead of deleting it.

I definitely deleted the event in functions.php with

function remove_wc_admin_unsnooze_cron() {
wp_clear_scheduled_hook( 'wc_admin_unsnooze_admin_notes' );}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_wc_admin_unsnooze_cron' );

I checked this with

$timestamp = wp_next_scheduled( 'wc_admin_unsnooze_admin_notes' );

and this returns false, so the event has not been rescheduled.

When I try to delete it – again – with WP Crontrol, I get the message “The cron event wc_admin_unsnooze_admin_notes could not be found”.

But it is still listed unter WP Crontrol Events with Action “None”.

I suspect there might be priorities at play here, for example WooCommerce reschedules the event after you unschedule it but before WP Crontrol displays its list of events.

This isn’t anything specific to WP Crontrol so your best bet is to get in touch with WooCommerce support, or, as I mentioned, use the Pause feature in WP Crontrol to prevent this event from doing anything.

Sorry, but if wp_next_scheduled returns false, how can the event be scheduled at all? Do I miss something?
