Woocommerce cron job running every minute without Woocommerce??

    Hi,

    in my cron jobs, I see this:
    action_scheduler_run_queue

    /wp-mail-smtp/vendor/woocommerce/action-scheduler/classes/ActionScheduler_QueueRunner.php:123

    But I don’t have Woocommerce installed.

    Also, I tried to find that file and it doesn’t exist, nor does the folder /wp-mail-smtp/vendor/.

    I only see /vendor_prefixed/ but no woocommerce folder either.

    When I delete the corn job, it just appears again straight away.

    What’s going on? I’m using WP Control to view the cron jobs.

    When I deactivate your plugin, the cron job “Action” is blank and I’m able to delete it.

    Hi @lukascech,

    We use the Action Scheduler library from WooCommerce to schedule and run automated tasks in the background. That’s why you’re seeing this behavior on your site. If you’d like to learn more about how we use it, check out this link on our website:

    Thanks, and have a great day! ??

    Hi David,

    thanks for taking the time to answer.

    I get that the Action Scheduler library from WooCommerce is used to perform some background tasks.

    What I don’t get is why a non-existent folder was called?

    With your plugin active, we had about 17s of load time before anything else on the website started loading. With the plugin off, the 17s load time dissappears.

    Hi there @lukascech,

    If you’re still running into trouble with the plugin, try reinstalling it. The folder shouldn’t be empty, so it sounds like something went askew when the plugin was installed. This could also be contributing to the speed issue you’re seeing. Try reinstalling the plugin and then check the speed. If you’re still having trouble with the speed, you can try troubleshooting with the Query Monitor plugin. You can also run a speed test with GTMetrix to get a look at the waterfall graph. It can help show what’s slowing down the front end.

    I hope this helps! Have a great day!
