How to Test WP Cron is Working

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:

  1. On the dashboard, go to Posts > Add New.
  2. In the Publish box, next to the text that says “Publish immediately,” press the “Edit” link.
Edit Post Page
  • Fields will appear that allow a date to be chosen.  Choose a date and time. Click the “OK” button.
    • Edit Post Schedule
  • Click the “Schedule” button.
    • Schedule Post
  • Make sure that the post was published at or near the scheduled time.
