    Hello,

    We’ve noticed an orphan Cron job related to your plugin and called : Elm_Plugin_deleteOldFixedMessages_hook

    Could you please let us know what it does and why is it orphan?

    Thank you very much.

    When you mark an error as fixed, the plugin stores the error message in the database so that it can filter out fixed errors when displaying historical log data. However, it seems inefficient and unnecessary to store fixed errors forever, so there is a cron job that automatically deletes old errors from the internal “fixed errors” list.

    I’m not sure why the cron job would be orphaned. Was it left over when you uninstalled the plugin? Or is the plugin still installed and active but the cron job is showing up as an orphan anyway?

    Thanks Janis. Yes your plugin is active but the cron Job remains orphan.

    Here are two suggestions that might help:

    • Try going to widget settings and clicking “Save Changes” (you don’t need to actually change anything). This can help reset/re-create cron jobs.
    • Try deactivating and reactivating the plugin.
