Unfortunately, not yet. Should we keep our hopes uP?

<?php

function post_types_events() {
    register_post_type('event', array(
        'public'     => true,
        'menu_icon'  => 'dashicons-calender',
        'labels'     => array(
            'name'   => 'Events',
            'add_new_item' => 'Add New Event',
            'edit_item'    => 'Edit Event',
            'all_items'    => 'All Events',
            'singular_name' => 'Event'
        )
    )); 
}
add_action('init', 'post_types_events');

?>

I am using WP version 6.1.1. When I place those above codes in functions.php files then I can see custom post type icons on admin dashboard but when I place it in mu-plugins folder then I dont see any icons on dashboard. Please see attached images.

function setup_cron() {
    if (! wp_next_scheduled ( 'my_hourly_event' )) {
	wp_schedule_event(time(), 'hourly', 'my_hourly_event');
    }
}

add_action('my_hourly_event', 'do_this_hourly');

function do_this_hourly() {
	// do something every hour
}

And usually you would run this on plugin activation to avoid scheduling an event every time WordPress is initialized:

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'setup_cron');

But how would I setup this same type of CRON in a Must-Use plugin, which of course never fires an activation hook? How can I setup an hourly CRON once without a new event being scheduled every time my site is loaded?

Thank you!

i am desperate now, because the auto update function (either with wordpress itself or with the help of the Easy Update Manager) will not run, no matter what i do.

It doesn’t matter what i configure, it does not auto update core, major, minor, dev-releases or even plugins or themes.

What i did:

– Download old version of wordpress 4.5.0 under CentOS 7 64 bit with apache 2.4, php, mariadb and setup everything manually (i.e. download wordpress.zip from website, unzip into wwwroot-folder, setup wp-config.php for database settings…)

– Set up everything i could login and create a website

– Did everything described in this wordpress-thread:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/auto-update-not-working-for-wordpress-453?replies=1

– I also tried the steps described here:

https://github.com/easy-updates-manager/easy-updates-manager/wiki/3.3-Automatic-Updates

– i checked and there is no variable defined that is disabling my auto updates or cron-jobs.

But no matter what i do, auto update don’t want to work.

So maybe you can give me a hint, what i did wrong or where i could look into? If this helps, i created a centos 7 vm in a aws environment (amazon ec2). Thanks in advance!

we try to enable auto updates for all components, except for development releases. We have a standard wordpress installation on a centos 7 os.

So we did the following according to the auto-update-site (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Configuring_Automatic_Background_Updates):

Add the following line in the wp-config.php:

define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, true );

We also created a mu-plugin under wp-content/mu-plugins/autp.update.php and it contains the following:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Auto Update Plugin
Description: Custom Auto Update Plugin
Author: Me
Version: 1.0
Author URI: www.somecompany.net
*/

/** Enable Auto updates for minor and major releases but ignore development releases */

add_filter( ‘allow_dev_auto_core_updates’, ‘__return_false’ );
add_filter( ‘allow_minor_auto_core_updates’, ‘__return_true’ );
add_filter( ‘allow_major_auto_core_updates’, ‘__return_true’ );

/** Enable Auto updates for plugins */

add_filter( ‘auto_update_plugin’, ‘__return_true’ );

/** Enable Auto updates for themes */

add_filter( ‘auto_update_theme’, ‘__return_true’ );

/** Enable Auto updates for translation */

add_filter( ‘auto_update_translation’, ‘__return_true’ );

/** Send email with update status */

apply_filters( ‘auto_core_update_send_email’, true, $type, $core_update, $result );

We see this plugin under Plugins -> Obligatory

We restarted the whole Server (just in case) and waited for auto-updates to occur.

However, now several plugin-updates are available, but the system does not update them.

In the past before 4.5.3, our system did not update on itself. We don’t know if the system also ignores automatic core updates. We will see, when the next one arrives…

The question is: What did we do wrong and how to enable auto updates?

Or can we safely us the following plugin, to manage all auto-updates? Is this safe to us for the current release?

Thanks in advance!

I’m using mu-plugins, https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Must_Use_Plugins.
These are showing in plugins.php, https://d.pr/i/JIvX.
Is there any way to hide it?
