    Lately I was cleaning up my database using Advanced Database Cleaner.
    And I found this: https://imgur.com/a/m1cZGp5

    Seems like WPForms Lite is running WP Cron (action_scheduler_run_queue) every 5 minutes. Is it necessary?
    Actually I disabled the WP Cron in wp-config.php and using real cron jobs on my Kinsta hosting.

    It’s their recommendation for faster performance: https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/disable-wp-cron/

    So do I really need this?
    My server is already executing cron jobs every 5 minutes.

  • Hello @pathankp,

    Thanks for contacting us!

    The ActionScheduler is used to send emails in the background. This feature is intended to speed up form submission process and was added in version 1.5.9 of the plugin.

    However, from version 1.6.0 onwards, this feature is disabled by default, and you can re-activate this by going to WPForms > Settings > Email, to select or unselect the Optimize Email Sending checkbox.

    Thanks!

    I did unselect the checkbox a long time ago, but the cron jobs are still active.

    What should I do about this?

    Hello @pathankp,

    I apologize for any confusion!

    In case it helps, within the ActionScheduler library, QueueRunner is a low profile task that just checks if there are any scheduled jobs to run.
    QueueRunner only executes the jobs if it finds them. If no jobs are scheduled, it just uses a tiny bit of resources. So, you may leave the schedule as it is.

    Thanks!
