How to Test WP Cron is Working

↑ Back to top

As mentioned in the requirements, having a working cron system is important for running Subscriptions. Recurring automatic payments and other functions are dependent on timing-sensitive actions and in order to implement those actions, cron must be working.

In order to test that WP Cron is working:

On the dashboard, go to Posts > Add New.
In the Publish box, next to the text that says “Publish immediately,” press the “Edit” link.

Fields will appear that allow a date to be chosen. Choose a date and time. Click the “OK” button.

Click the “Schedule” button.

Make sure that the post was published at or near the scheduled time.
