logged in user id not getting in wordpress cron job

  • Hi
    Not getting logged in user id in cronjob function.

    add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'isa_add_every_three_minutes' );
function isa_add_every_three_minutes( $schedules ) {
    $schedules['every_three_minutes'] = array(
        'interval'  => 180,
        'display'   => __( 'Every 3 Minutes', 'textdomain' )
);
    return $schedules;
}

// Schedule an action if it's not already scheduled
if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'isa_add_every_three_minutes' ) ) {
    wp_schedule_event( time(), 'every_three_minutes', 'isa_add_every_three_minutes' );
}

// Hook into that action that'll fire every three minutes
add_action( 'isa_add_every_three_minutes', 'every_three_minutes_event_func');
function every_three_minutes_event_func() {
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $user_points = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'remaing_points', true);
    // send mail
    //wp_mail();

}

    have tried two method:
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    $current_user->ID;

    but none of that works. I am logged in as subscriber role.

    Thanks

  • There no user in cron jobs. Use WP_User_Query https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/classes/wp_user_query/

    Hi,

    Thnaks for your suggestion, but that is not what i want. I have created small plugin where i want to get logged in user ID and only logged in user can get something like emaail or other content that i want to send, but logged in user id(subscriber or any other roles) is alays return 0.

    That’s because there’s no user in cron jobs.

    You should create a recursive event like this:

    add_action( 'init', function () {
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();
    if ( ! $user_id ) return;
 
    $interval = 180;
    $last_time = get_user_meta( $user_id, 'isa_last_time', true );

    if ( ! $last_time || time() - $last_time >= $interval ) {
        // do something...
    }

    update_user_meta( $user_id, 'isa_last_time', time() );
} );
