Automated scheduled tasks on WordPress websites.
WordPress cron jobs handle various critical functions such as:
- Checking for updates to WordPress core, themes, and plugins
- Publishing scheduled posts
- Sending email notifications
- Running cleanup tasks like emptying the trash
- Executing scheduled tasks from plugins
WP Crontrol plugin makes WordPress’s automatic task system way easier to use and understand.
Instead of the hidden, hard-to-manage default system, it gives you a simple dashboard where you can see all scheduled tasks, run them manually with one click, add new ones without coding, and fix timing problems.
It’s like upgrading from a basic alarm clock to a smart scheduling app that shows you exactly what’s happening and lets you control everything with minimal effort—perfect for keeping your WordPress site running smoothly without needing technical skills.
