## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)



**Does this plugin work with PHP 8 or above?**



Yes, the plugin is actively tested and works up to PHP 8.2.



**Is it safe to delete cron events?**



It depends. Use a search engine to find out which plugin the event belongs to before deleting. Events with "None" as the action are usually safe to delete.



**Why can't I delete some cron events?**



WordPress core uses these events. You can pause them instead.



**What happens when I pause an event?**



Pausing disables all actions attached to the event's hook. The event remains scheduled but won't run.



**What happens when I resume an event?**



Resuming re-enables all actions attached to the event's hook.



**What does "None" for the Action of a cron event mean?**



The event is scheduled but has no functionality to trigger, making it useless. This can happen with deactivated plugins that don't clean up their cron events.



**How do I change the schedule of a cron event?**



Edit the event through the plugin interface.



**How can I create a cron event that requests a URL?**



Create a PHP cron event that uses the WordPress HTTP API to fetch the URL.



**Can I export a list of cron events?**



Yes, you can export a CSV file from the cron event listing screen.



**What are cron schedules used for?**



Cron schedules define intervals for executing events. Plugins can add custom schedules for specific functionalities.



**How do I create a new cron event?**



1. Use the plugin interface to add a new event with the desired hook name and schedule.

2. In your theme's `functions.php` file, use `add_action` to define the function to be executed when the hook is triggered.
