What this plugin/library adds to WordPress is incredibly powerful. It’s asynchronous execution of actions gives developers incredible possibilities. The fact that plugin developers have the option to integrate this plugin/library into their own plugins is fantastic. Keep up the good work!

Only tested it, I didnt like it, and now it wont leave. Manually removing tables – crashes my site. Sucking the life out of my server. I have to ask support for how to get rid of it.
Horrible Horrible

This plugin is a classical malware:
1) it acts hidden: it integrates in WordPress core, don’t identificate itself for site owner, don’t allow any management of it’s activity or control for site owner.
2) It secretly and non-stop (every minute) allocates all server resources displacing all useful processes like processing user’s requests and all others too. It slow down site in times. From my experience “server response time” decreased from 7-8s to 1,2s just as I started to limit this malware, but I still can’t stop or remove it completely (there is no woocommerce on my site, but I believe that it were the result would be more impressive).
3) It acts as extension to WordPress’s wp_cron service. All that it does can be done under pure wp_cron but not hidden and without slowing down site. So, it’s crear to understand that if some other plugin use Scheduled Actions it does it only to hide something from site owner eyes or/and slow down site (probably to upsale pro version that acts without Scheduled Actions.
4) There is no way how to completely stop neither uninstall it neither remove it’s actions neither it’s wp_cron task.
5) It’s impossible just to short circle some functions in it to stop it’s working – it’s code made the way that it break site down if someone try to stop it. I have found the way to limit it’s activity but can’t stop it completely.
6) All question to developers regarding this behavior return with answer like “it runs as we wish, keep enjoying slow down your site” or buy our other plugins or employ us to find why your site is slow down. Explanations about clear difference with Scheduled Actions working as they with and limited they just ignore.
I strictly advice plugin developer run a mile of this malware otherwise site owners have to remove already your plugins accusing already you in the fatal slow of their sites and probably with criminal charge (at least in EU).

A must-use if you want to schedule any type of task, no more wp_schedule headaches.

Developers refuse to support their own plugin. I have no use for something that does not work, and something the developers will not support.
Cannot and will not recommend to anyone… sadly will not make much of a difference because it’s in use in every site that utilizes WooCommerce, but, whatever…

Look, I’m fine with having to do some coding. After all, I want to write my own php code to be called every five minutes or so. But you have to tell me WHERE to put the calls. I’ve installed your service via plugin, and your usage page (actionscheduler [dot] org [slash] usage) tells me exactly nothing about where I need to make these API calls. Is it function.php in my home WP directory? Can I make these calls from my own self-made directory? Tell me!

I had migrated a ton of sites to a new server and (I thought) tested them. But one site malfunctioned when I tested it again and woocommerce would not activate without fatal errors.
The error involved the action scheduler Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘Action_Scheduler\Migration\Controller’ not found in
I had already paid a ton of money to migrate the site from another ecommerce system to woocommerce b efore this latest server change so this was a nightmare.
Your plugin fixed it and saved me much heartache. Sincere thanks.

How Action Scheduler only has two reviews is beyond me, though I guess I more typically use it as a library within whatever I’m developing rather than as an actual plugin.
Regardless, Action Scheduler is awesome and an absolutely vital contribution to the WordPress community. It’s really the only good way to reliably get intensive, bulk recurring actions happening with useful reporting on if scheduled events are happening and such. WAY better than trying to leverage WP’s native “wp-cron” task scheduling system.
Documentation is good too. What more could you ask?

I’m not sure why this plugin hasn’t been downloaded more often or hasn’t got more positive reviews. It’s really helpful for scheduling long running tasks and the logging functionality for viewing and debugging issues is excellent. I wish I had known about it sooner.
