Cron Generator for WordPress

WP-Cron only runs when someone visits the site – on quiet sites scheduled posts and backups run late, on busy ones it slows every page load. A real cron job fixes both. The generator builds the lines for wp-config.php and your hosting panel.

Cron Generator

Set up a real cron job for WordPress

Replaces WordPress’ pseudo-cron with a real system cron job. Everything runs in your browser.

Interval
Method

After activating, check that the job actually runs, e.g. with the WP Crontrol plugin or via wp cron event list.

Your input never leaves the browser. The snippets are generated locally via JavaScript.

Everything is generated locally in your browser. Nothing you enter is transmitted to our server.

How it works

  1. 1 Pick site URL, interval and method
  2. 2 Add DISABLE_WP_CRON to wp-config.php
  3. 3 Enter the cron line in crontab, Plesk or cPanel
