Configuring cron

    Hi, the description mentiones that, “The plugin hooks into the wp cron processes and runs every minute by default, but can be configured to use any cron schedule (hourly, twicedaily, daily, etc).”

    Does running every minute create any performance overhead and how do you configure it to run less frequently?

    Thanks.

    Thanks but I would be reluctant to disable the internal cron completely in case any other functions use it. Is there a performance overhead using the internal cron running every minute?

    Thanks.

    Thanks, I understand that every time a page is accessed the system will check to see if a cron is scheduled and if so, will run it.

    Might it be an option in a future version of the plugin to make the period a user selectable variable so the user can select to run it every minute or every 60 minutes for example?

    Many thanks.

    The plugin uses the core wordpress cron functionality. It sets a specific cron event for each post expiration. Old versions of the plugin used to check at the set interval, but as of version 2.0 – it schedules a specific cron event for each expiration.
