--------------------------+-----------------------------
I am working on a class-based plugin. I need a custom cron job that will
be active when the plugin is active and run the plugin function. Now, I am
facing an issue where it is not calling the plugin function, but I have
checked the cron that has already been created. Below is my code. Let me
know what I am missing here. smcp_cron_do_task() is not triggered by the
cron job.
{{{
<?php
class ClassName {
public function __construct() {
// Ensure custom cron intervals are registered early
//add_filter( 'cron_schedules', array( $this,
'add_custom_intervals' ) );
// Hooks
register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array( $this,
'smcp_cron_activate' ));
register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, array( $this,
'smcp_cron_deactivate' ));
add_action( 'smcp_cron_task_hook', array( $this,
'smcp_cron_do_task' ) );
}
// Schedule on activation
function smcp_cron_activate() {
if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'smcp_cron_task_hook' ) ) {
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'every_minute',
'smcp_cron_task_hook' );
}
}
// Clear scheduled event on deactivation
function smcp_cron_deactivate() {
$timestamp = wp_next_scheduled( 'smcp_cron_task_hook' );
if ( $timestamp ) {
wp_unschedule_event( $timestamp, 'smcp_cron_task_hook' );
}
}
function smcp_cron_do_task() {
// Custom Code
error_log( 'My custom cron job ran at: ' . current_time('mysql')
);
}
public function add_custom_intervals( $schedules ) {
$schedules['every_minute'] = array(
'interval' => 60,
'display' => __( 'Every Minute' ),
);
return $schedules;
}
}
// Initialize plugin
new Site_Monitor();
}}}
