Cron job

    Dear people,

    Since the last week the EGOI plugin for WordPress Smart Marketing SMS and Newsletters Forms, version 4.0.3 makes cron jobs.

    This is the code from the egoi-for-wp.php file in the plugins/smart-marketing-for-wp map:

    if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'egoi_cron_hook' ) ) {// check next time hook will run

wp_schedule_event( time(), 'sixty_seconds', 'egoi_cron_hook' );
}

    Because of that in the address bar appears the cron job code like this: https://example.com/?doing_wp_cron=1648222954.4815180301666259765625

    In the marketing department they don’t like it at all.

    What is this cron job for? Is it possible to switch it off without serious consequences?

    Have a beautiful day,

    Igor Beuermann

    Hi,

    This cron is use to sync your product catalog (if you have one) with your E-goi Catalog. If you don’t need this feature, you can switch it off.

    Thanks for a quick reply!

    I can disable the cron in the file. But then I’d need to change for every new version of the plugin.

    In the: WP Dashboard | Smart Marketing | Configuration

    Does the switch Enable Auto Sync has the same function (switching of the cron)?

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    Our plugin use the wp cron (native WP Cron https://developer.www.ads-software.com/plugins/cron/).
    You can disable WP Cron and configure it in your server Cron TAb

    Disable default wp-cron.php behavior
    Open your wp-config.php file with the cPanel File Manager Code Editor.
    Go to the bottom of the database settings in wp-config.php typically around line 37. Add the code: define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, ‘true’);
    Click Save.
