I made a little WordPress plugin that does the "hard work" for users to schedule a WP-Cron entry automatically to run the ajax endpoint needed to send scheduled notifications.
In principle it can be improved by creating an actual action that can be called inside Amelia: add_action('amelia_notifications_scheduled_send', fn)
Feel free to implement this on your side and/or mention in the docs (if you guys feel like that's a better solution and want to of course).
Hi, I am having an issue with Cron. The option "PHP Cron Event" is not showing on Add New Event. I am the administrator of the website. Can anyone help?
We have had a couple of similar issues reported to us and this is an issue with the WP Crontrol plugin, please reach out to their support team and they should be able to assist you with this issue.
As a matter of fact, the maintainers of WP Crontrol have made the choice to remove the "PHP Script"-part due to likely being unsafe. It's best, if adding it via WP Crontrol, to also create a little addition to the functions.php file of the (child) theme, as is also explained in their documentation; in essence its an action hook with the exact same curl call.
My plugin avoids the step of having to create this filter hook; set & forget. @Happy - glad you found it, it's indeed on my GitHub profile. Note that I have no means to add this to the WP plugin directory as I honestly feel that this should be implemented by the Amelia plugin itself instead (> even without making a curl request: calling the code behind the endpoint itself directly).
On WP Crontrol's official page there's no mention of them removing the "PHP Cron Events". Moreover, they are covered in the FAQ on the same page with instructions on how they are used. Also, in the "Which users can manage PHP cron events?” section of the same FAQ, they mention a possible reason why you can't see the "PHP Event" radio button (the user you're logged in to WordPress with most likely doesn't have the edit_files capability).
We just installed WP Crontrol onour live testing site (the latest version which was updated 13 hours ago (May 26th)) and the PHP Cron radio button is there. The command works fine, and we've received the reminder normally.
Crons are scheduled tasks of the server, so it's not something that Amelia can implement.
Just to let you guys know,
