What the author says it does
Take control of the cron events on your WordPress website or WooCommerce store with WP Crontrol. From the admin screens you can:
- View all scheduled cron events along with their arguments, schedule, callback functions, and when they are next due.
- Log each run of the events you choose, with its duration, errors, HTTP requests, and emails sent.
- Get an email when a logged event fails.
- Let an AI assistant check, run, and pause cron events and read their logs, through the WordPress Abilities API (WordPress 6.9 and later).
- Edit, delete, pause, resume, and immediately run cron events.
- Add new cron events.
- Bulk delete cron events.
- Add and remove custom cron schedules.
- Export and download cron event lists as a CSV file.
WP Crontrol is aware of timezones, will alert you to events that have no actions or that have missed their schedule, and will show you a helpful warning message if it detects any problems with your cron system.
Usage
- Go to the Cron → Cron Events menu to manage cron events. Tools → Cron Events still works too.
- Go to the Cron → Cron Logs menu to see what ran, once you turn on logging for an event.
- Go to the Cron → Cron Insights menu to see how your events behaved over the last week.
- Go to the Cron → Cron Alerts menu to get an email when a logged event fails.

Questions the author answers
Does this plugin work with PHP 8?
Yes, it’s actively tested and working up to PHP 8.4.
I get the error “There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site”. How do I fix this?
You can read all about problems spawning WP-Cron on the WP Crontrol website.
Why do some cron events miss their schedule?
You can read all about cron events that miss their schedule on the WP Crontrol website.
Why do some cron events reappear shortly after I delete them?
If the event is added by a plugin then the plugin most likely rescheduled the event as soon as it saw that the event was missing. To get around this you can instead use the “Pause this hook” action which means it’ll remain in place but won’t perform any action when it runs.
Is it safe to delete cron events?
This depends entirely on the event. You can use your favourite search engine to search for the event name in order to find out which plugin it belongs to, and then decide whether or not to delete it.
If the event shows “None” as its action then it’s usually safe to delete. Please see the other FAQs for more information about events with no action.
Why can’t I delete some cron events?
The WordPress core software uses cron events for some of its functionality and removing these events is not possible because WordPress would immediately reschedule them if you did delete them. For this reason, WP Crontrol doesn’t let you delete these persistent events from WordPress core in the first place.
If you don’t want these events to run, you can use the “Pause this hook” action instead.
Latest changelog entry
- Cron event logging and Cron Insights, previously part of WP Crontrol Pro, are now free for everyone. Logging is off until you turn it on for an event.
- WP Crontrol now has its own Cron menu in the admin, with Events, Logs, Insights, Alerts, AI, and Schedules in one place. Tools > Cron Events still works.
- New: Cron Alerts. Get an email when a logged cron event fails, as it happens (at most once an hour for each event) or as a daily summary, with a test button to check that alerts arrive.
Screenshots
Cron events can be modified, deleted, and executed 
New cron events can be added 
New cron schedules can be added, giving plugin developers more options when scheduling events

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
