WP-Cron

  • Hey there,

    I am having an issue with wp-cron. When a woocommerce product is added to my cart, no matter what the hold stock is set to, the product never clears my cart. I mean never. I tested the cron using the WP Control plugin and I could manually clear the cart through the events cron. Woocommerce told me this is not their issue and that I needed to reach out here for some help troubleshooting what is going wrong as the woo plugins are reliant on the cron. Is there any advice I can get here?

    Thanks in advance.

  • I’m thinking you don’t have enough traffic to trigger WordPress’ Pseudo-Cron reliably.

    I think the WP-control plugin you have lets you see the events themselves but doesn’t run the full pseudo cron trigger though you can trigger individual events with it.

    You can switch to an external cron trigger using the…

    with your web host’s cron task system if they have one. Your hosting control panel may have information about running a cron trigger also.

    The plugin above has some update warnings but it is the one I still use and seems to be fine for my needs. There are other plugins that do the same but I haven’t needed them so I stay with what I know.

    I also use this plugin and it works fine but the same caveats apply as the above. This one will allow you to trigger a cron task from your WordPress dashboard…

    This plugin should be fine to run a cron task right after you edit those WooCommerce products and such. You could even run it as you are finishing up editing just to make sure cron ran.

    If need be, ask your host about the cron task they might offer you.

    Hope this helps.
