How to run scheduled cron events as logged in user

  • I have a site that uses a few cron jobs to take care of regular tasks. These cron jobs need to access data that is stored in posts that are only accessible by certain users. An addon, like WP Force Login, is used to keep unregistered users out.

    This requires the cron to be run as a logged in user to succeed. How can I accomplish this? Or, perhaps there is a more elegant solution I am overlooking?

    Thank you in advance!

    Your CRON script could directly access the DB to get data via SQL queries. You could use WP’s scheduled task facility instead of CRON for any WP related tasks. Function Reference/wp schedule event WP-CLI creates a command line interface which works well with CRON scripts. XMLRPC provides a method to login. Hackers have been hammering my site in vain through this method for weeks, so it must work (with the correct user and password) ??
