How to schedule a snippet to run once a day

  • I have written a code snippet that I’d like to run only once a day. Is this possible to do within code snippets or better to run a cron job?

    It’s possible to create a cron job within a snippet:

    add_action( 'init', function () {

	$hook = 'run_snippet_daily';
	$args = array();

	if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( $hook, $args ) ) {
		wp_schedule_event( time(), 'daily', $hook, $args );
	}
} );

add_action( 'run_snippet_daily', function () {
	
	// do something once each day
} );

    Once you’ve added the first bit as a snippet, then you can keep using the original hook in future snippets.
