Hello

Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

The notice is not an error but a message stating that there are pending Action Scheduler actions that were not completed.

You can follow either of the following steps to remove the warning:

1. Please add the following filter to remove the warning:
add_filter( 'action_scheduler_pastdue_actions_check_pre', '__return_false' );

1.1 Here is a tutorial on how to do it:
https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

2. Open the Action Scheduler page, click on the Pending tab, Select all and delete them using the Bulk Action dropdown:
https://i.rankmath.com/XBucZ8
Normal WordPress installation path:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-status&tab=action-scheduler

WordPress installation with WooCommerce in it:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-status&tab=action-scheduler

3. You can setup a real cron job for the same:

https://www.google.com/search?q=wp+cron+replace+with+real+cron

Please stay advised that the Action Scheduler will not run if there are no visitors to the site (just like WP’s own cron).

Even Action Scheduler, the library that is used in the RM plugin, states that “Actions that are past-due have missed their scheduled date; because of how WP Cron works, it is normal to have some past-due actions.”

Hope that helps. If you need further faster assistance, please check the following resource:

i had 20-30 past due actions. i’ve used the hook
add_filter( 'action_scheduler_pastdue_actions_check_pre', '__return_false' );
just to hide the message…
Still watching the total behaviour of the site…

The problem has to do with action scheduler update included in Rank math. I don’t use wp rocket but the issue is here

Hello,

As mentioned in our previous reply, this is not an issue with the Rank Math plugin but rather an issue with the cron jobs on the website which are not completed on time, and as such, the actions are being shown on this new view.

To fix the issue, we recommend following the steps we mentioned before and even setting up a working real cron job to run the actions consistently, so they don’t end up on the past due list.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello,

The status of the cron jobs and their completion of them were not affected by the update.

The only difference is that previously the non-completed jobs would be in the pending section, but they now show in this new view added by the developers responsible for the ActionScheduler library.

Please go through the steps outlined in the previous message:

You can setup a manual cron job in case your server is not working as intended.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
