Cron jobs are used to schedule tasks that need to be carried out at a specific time.  It may be that the job needs to run every 5 minutes, every hour, or once a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you may set a job to check for updates, or carry out a backup.  There are many things you can do on an automated schedule which frees up your time to do more important tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main problem with the built-in WordPress cron scheduler  (<code>wp-cron.php<\/code>)  is that it is only triggered if the pages are accessed.  If your WordPress site is busy, then this isnt really a problem, however if your site is new or doesnt generate much traffic then you will find your cron jobs wont run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The better method is to use the OS scheduler, this will ensure the cron jobs are run when they are set to run,   this is also the recommended method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-the-wordpress-cron-scheduler\/#requirements\" >Requirements<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-the-wordpress-cron-scheduler\/#modifying_the_wordpress_config_file\" >Modifying The WordPress Config File<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-the-wordpress-cron-scheduler\/#issues_with_wp-cron\" >Issues with WP-Cron<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-the-wordpress-cron-scheduler\/#step_1_how_to_disable_wp-cron\" >Step 1: How to Disable WP-Cron<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-the-wordpress-cron-scheduler\/#step_2_creating_the_new_system_cron_job\" >Step 2: Creating The New System Cron Job<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-the-wordpress-cron-scheduler\/#adding_a_cron_job_using_ssh\" >Adding A Cron Job Using SSH<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/how-to-disable-the-wordpress-cron-scheduler\/#adding_a_cron_job_with_cpanel\" >Adding A Cron Job With cPanel<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"requirements\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"requirements\"><\/span>Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You will need access to modify wp-config.php<\/li><li>You will need access to create cron jobs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"modifying-the-wordpress-config-file\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"modifying_the_wordpress_config_file\"><\/span>Modifying The WordPress Config File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In WordPress, the standard configuration is to use WP-Cron, which essentially simulates the OS cron.  This can cause further issues and have a negative impact on the performance of your website.  In this tutorial, we will show you how to disable WP-Cron and use the OS cron for much better performance and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"performance-issues-wp-cron\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"issues_with_wp-cron\"><\/span>Issues with WP-Cron<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the OS (or system) cron, WP-Cron only runs when a webpage on the WordPress website is accessed. There are 2 main issues around this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, if the WordPress website is hardly accessed, then your scheduled jobs will never run.\u00a0 Secondly, if the website receives a lot of traffic, then WP-Cron will attempt to run at every page load, thus using more PHP resources, and potentially slowing down the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For best practice, we should always disable WP-Cron and use the system cron instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disable-wp-cron\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"step_1_how_to_disable_wp-cron\"><\/span>Step 1: How to Disable WP-Cron<a href=\"https:\/\/kinsta.com\/knowledgebase\/disable-wp-cron\/#disable-wp-cron\"><\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to disable WP-Cron, you will need edit <code>wp-config.php<\/code> file using SSH, if you dont have access to this, you can instead use File manager within cPanel to edit the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open up the file, scroll to the end of the file and add the following entry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"633\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/disable-wp-cron.png\" alt=\"Disable WP-Cron\" class=\"wp-image-1319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/disable-wp-cron.png 633w, https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/disable-wp-cron-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/disable-wp-cron-150x61.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tidyhosts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/disable-wp-cron-450x183.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now save the file and WordPress will now start using the system cron<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"schedule-system-cron\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"step_2_creating_the_new_system_cron_job\"><\/span>Step 2: Creating The New System Cron Job<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adding-a-cron-job-using-ssh\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"adding_a_cron_job_using_ssh\"><\/span>Adding A Cron Job Using SSH<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we need to <code>wp-cron.php<\/code> setup a cron job using the OS scheduler, to do this from SSH you will simply run the following command<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>crontab -e<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scroll down and add an entry like this, you can change times times to suit your requirements.
