About
WP-Cron is a black box: something runs sometime, and when it breaks nobody knows why. Overdue events pile up, updates stop arriving, backups go silent. Cron Control opens the box: a full event list with intervals, next run time and whether a handler exists.
“Run now” fires an event immediately — with fatal protection and without touching the schedule. “Run all overdue” clears the backlog in one click. Foreign schedules are sacred and cannot be deleted by accident.
Pro adds a 14-day run history with per-run durations in milliseconds and alerts for stuck events.

FAQ
Will “Run now” break the schedule?

Can foreign events be deleted?
Foreign schedules are protected and cannot be removed by accident.
Is Pro required?
No: basic control is free; Pro adds history and alerts.
Installation & uninstall
Free version
- Download the zip archive with the "Download free" button above.
- In your WordPress admin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Pick the downloaded zip, click "Install Now", then "Activate".
- The plugin's menu appears in wp-admin — configure it to your liking.
Pro version
- After payment, download the Pro archive from your order page (the link is also emailed).
- Install Pro like any plugin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → Activate.
- The free version must be installed and active — Pro sits on top as a companion.
- Enter the license key on the plugin's Pro settings page.
Uninstall
- Plugins → find the plugin in the list → click "Deactivate".
- Then click "Delete" — the plugin and all its data (tables, settings, logs) are removed completely.
- The Pro companion uninstalls the same way, independently; the free version keeps working.
Every plugin we ship passes a clean-uninstall test: after "Delete" no tables or leftover settings remain in the database.
