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?

No: a manual run does not touch the schedule — the next scheduled run happens as planned.

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

  1. Download the zip archive with the "Download free" button above.
  2. In your WordPress admin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Pick the downloaded zip, click "Install Now", then "Activate".
  4. The plugin's menu appears in wp-admin — configure it to your liking.

Pro version

  1. After payment, download the Pro archive from your order page (the link is also emailed).
  2. Install Pro like any plugin: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → Activate.
  3. The free version must be installed and active — Pro sits on top as a companion.
  4. Enter the license key on the plugin's Pro settings page.

Uninstall

  1. Plugins → find the plugin in the list → click "Deactivate".
  2. Then click "Delete" — the plugin and all its data (tables, settings, logs) are removed completely.
  3. 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.
