<p>WP Crontrol enables you to take control of the scheduled cron events on your WordPress website or WooCommerce store. From the admin screens you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>View all scheduled cron events along with their arguments, schedule, callback functions, and when they are next due.</li>
<li>Edit, delete, pause, resume, and immediately run cron events.</li>
<li>Add new cron events.</li>
<li>Bulk delete cron events.</li>
<li>Add and remove custom cron schedules.</li>
<li>Export and download cron event lists as a CSV file.</li>
</ul>
<p>WP Crontrol is aware of timezones, will alert you to events that have no actions or that have missed their schedule, and will show you a helpful warning message if it detects any problems with your cron system.</p>

WP Crontrol

I use this plugin all the time when testing cron events or problem solving. As far as I am concerned it is an essential part of a developer's tool kit.

Must have plugin for developers

As everybody else say: This plugin was great, but after releasing an automatic update with a fatal error, about 200 000 sites world-wide went down - among others some of our customers'.

We have no reason to think that this was intentional, but nonetheless it's unacceptable, and there's nothing that says this developer won't do this again.

Do not install.

From great to disaster
