Jetpack Cron Events without Jetpack installed?

  • I had installed the JetPack plugin, but deleted it again because I could implement its functionality easier with other plugin.

    Now I wonder why there are numerous entries for Jetpack in the cron events:

    • jetpack_sync_cron
    • jetpack_sync_full_cron
    • jetpack_clean_nonces
    • jp_purge_transients_cron
    • jetpack_waf_rules_update_cron
    • jetpack_v2_heartbeat

    Therefore my questions

    1. are these cronjobs necessary, although I don’t use JetPack?
    2. if not: how to delete these cronjobs?

    I have been looking for an answer on the forum but have been unable to find anything. If I have missed an obvious answer or duplicate, I apologize.

    If Jetpack is uninstalled, they should be gone. Use a plugin like WP Crontrol to remove them.

    In fact, I became aware of the problem via the wp_control plugin. Here, two menus distinguish between cron events and cron schedules. I can delete cron events – but they reappear after the set interval has expired.

    In the Cron Schedule menu I can see a single Jetpack related file, but I can’t delete it:

    jetpack_sync_interval
    This schedule is added by another plugin and cannot be deleted

    I don’t see anything obvious there, though you might ask the Woo folks if they use any Jetpack cron events for things like syncing an image CDN. Failing that, use the old standby: Please attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
