WP Cron and Managing Scheduled Events with the Free WP Crontrol Plugin
In this video I look at WP Cron and the free WP Crontrol plugin. Many users don't even know that WordPress has an event scheduler, how it works, or its limitations. However, this is good information to have, if only for troubleshooting and site maintenance purposes. The WP Crontrol plugin provides a nice interface for managing WP Cron.

ZipWP Another Big Step In WordPress Site Building
Oh thank you so much for this Info, David!
Thank you David for this video. There are many “black box” areas in Wordpress. I had only a vague notion that WP had its own cron scheduler. Love the visibility into the schedule, will be adding this tool to my toolbox.
I'm glad it was useful.
Very useful. Thank you for creating this tutorial.
Great video, thanks ! What would you use to give the user the opportunity to filter the archive on an ACF taxonomy ?
Thank you for this video. This is a very helpful (and encouraging!) bridge for past HTML templates taht were originally completed with Timber and TWIG. Because of your expertise, I am ready to tackle this now. 🙂
What if we don't use pro version of Kadence blocks? How can we display our post content?
Thanks for the walk through on this. Easier than I thought.
What about the Elementor Template feature? And if there are several pdf pages? I have a very long form. About 90 items, with check boxes, and lists. HELP PLEASE
Excellent. Bulk functionality and catorization of orphan finds ---very helpful. What a highlight. DB scrutiny is always a grind. must be done - this vid is a great walkthru.
Your video is thorough and to the point. I was able to create a contact page by following along. Thanks!
OK, so now I need to add another plugin. lol Can this plugin be used to eliminate other plugins? I'm thinking about automation, WooCommerce, upselling, and CRM plugins.
Thank you for going deeper into this plugin.
Curious to know what the impact of using all of these shortcodes on a very busy website would be? Any thoughts?
Hi David, is this the only tutorial you have on Dynamic Content for Elementor?
Great look! I wonder if this can be used with Kadence elements. Going to check it out!
Let us know ! Thx !
Does this support ACPT?
Great video! What has your experience been like styling your pages when you use the jet engine blocks? I use KadenceWP as well, and I have a project where I'll be using the Jetgine tools. But I've been thinking about using Elementor for the project because of the styling features and compatibility. But I wouldn't definitely rather use Kadence.
Thank you so much for this great explanation! SO helpful! I have one question and would very much appreciate your help. I am using Rank Math Pro. According to the tutorial provided by Rank Math, I should display the schema markup (for a product) on my product page, but I do not like the style (I also use custom fields to display this information on my page). Is it necessary to actually display the schema information on the page, or will google just get the information from the "background"? Sorry, in case my question is confusing, I am really new to this...
Hello, thanks for this video. I have a question, you may have the answer ! I have created an ACF custom post type but my posts (in the admin menu) are, by default, ordered by name. How to order them by date of creation ? Thanks
very good tutorial by the way, how do we display extra field in the post list ?
Thanks David. Im making a website with Gutenberg, Jet Engine, and Jet Theme Core. No builders, only core blocks. Your reviews help me o lot for my choice of wp tools.
What is Clean URLs?
This is the Best... Absolute best walk-through x Review for Betterlinks I have seen so far. Thank you for this video fine sir. Great work @David
What a waste of time watching this!! Advertising FluentSMTP?
Thank you very much. Just came from a wedding night shift xD saw you were posting this video. And I bought Slim SEO when it came out. But never really used it, because that was actually for finished websites in then end. But thanks to you, know I should start out earlier and try it out. Still a good part of a Technical SEO package. Thanks for that one ❤🎉🎉
How do you think this compare to SEOPress? They also have a good scehema builder.
It's waste tbh they have been there for years and couldn't come close to RankMath or SEOPress. Stick with SEOPress which has a nice UI as well.
For automation, slim seo is much nicer. You predefined everything at first then forgot about it
Very nice. Thank you, David.
Does the site builder allow to customize the "Search" pages? I'm trying to customize the look of that page when using a Custom Post Type like you did with Books but when I perform a search my Site builder archive layout just shows ALL the results in the loop builder block. I'm not sure how to customize the search pages. Do you?
How does SureMembers protect from customers going back to the off site player address without permission?
Very good teaching and demonstration. Thank you.
Do yo know the difference between the Team and Agency features? License management? Or is it just the amount of sites included.
Are you still using and what are your thoughts on the developers of this dashboard
Thanks!!!
Thanks :)
Great tutorial, as always! Is there a walkthrough for doing the same but for visitor-submitted content that would be moderated and then published on the site? Is it possible (with maybe beginner developer skills) with Meta Box? I'm thinking of replacing Events Calendar frontend submission (Community Events) with Metabox frontend submission - the visitor (either a user or even logged-out visitor) on the front end can fill out a form which will become a custom post type with the status "draft" and then it could be published after being checked by the admin. Is this possible with Meta Box?
OMG i cant tell you how much this just revolutionized my subscription business - i sell investment advice via a payway subscriber model and use chart links as part of that and subscribers are constantly ripping me off by sharing links and bypassing my paywall. to manually go in and physically chage hundreds of pages... well there are days id rather just get ripped off... but now? THE PARTY IS OVER FREELOADERS.... now i can cut them off in 2 clicks Thankyou from the bottom of my heart David
Lovely tutorial
Good content. This plugin update nightmare is one of the major downsides of WordPress compared to Webflow, Shopify, and Squarespace, where such issues are not even a concern. The same issue is for security regarding WordPress. Apple solved this for IOS decades back, yet WordPress seems stuck in the ruins of technology compared to the butter-smooth experience of its competitors.
Brilliant video, thanks Maybe you can help here: I created a CPT „Trainingvideos“ and added the 6 custom fields inside the CPT Editor. Now there will be more CPTs where we need the same fields. Question 1: can I add the same fields with the same Name/ID to the new CPTs? Or is it colliding in the database? Question 2: Since the client decides to have more CPTs with the same fields, can I transfer the fields in a Meta Box, without having to fill out all the fields again? (100 posts so far) Thanks for the help :)
Thank you I've been so confused. Now I can consider deleting ACF
You mean to say, one have to have Astra Pro and Spectra Pro to do something useful?
I don't see how your members can log in.
Would like to understand how to use a number field or Text field for Addresses which are numberic and text. ACF said I could use only one. What's up?
i am using kadence blocks with astra but for some reason when i want full width for the map i get spacing on the left. why is this?i put width 1280px.
Hello, thanks for your videos... Just wondering if you think that this product stands up to the competition in terms of what ACF Pro offers and Metabox offers. The price is attractive compared to the competition and I suppose that is because it is relatively new in comparison. I use Bricks and it has integration with that, if you know of anything it lacks or if you think it isn't as good, for any reason, would be good to hear. Once again thanks for your great educational materials!
Nicely done. Great walkthrough. Thanks much.
Great tutorial. Question what was the outputted HTML code like in comparison to a page if it was made with Elementor? I'm looking to remove Elementor from my workflow to remove excess html bloat and this seems a good work around for simpler sites.
good stuff mate
It wasn't made clear if this migration mode can be used to rebuild an existing breakdance site.
No it cannot. I mentioned that in the discussion at the end.
Exactly what I think. Every builder should have this migration feature ! My question is: Is it working for migration from Breakdance (any version) to Breakdance ?
No, just from another builder. It would be nice if it somehow worked when updating a Breakdance site also.
