Cron management for 1 site. View every scheduled event, spot overdue jobs, and run, pause, or delete them.
Cron Job Scheduler
See and control every scheduled task on your WordPress sites.
Cron Job Scheduler lets you view all scheduled WP-Cron events, spot what's overdue or stuck, run, pause, or delete events, catch runaway or duplicate tasks slowing your site, and monitor cron health across every connected site.
In short
Cron Job Scheduler is a WP Tailwatch feature that shows every scheduled WP-Cron event on your sites. You can see what's overdue or stuck, run, pause, or delete events, spot runaway or duplicate tasks slowing the site, and monitor cron health across all your connected sites from one place.

What it does
No more invisible scheduled tasks.Every WP-Cron event, visible and under your control.
WP-Cron runs silently in the background, and when a backup, publish, or cleanup job quietly stops firing, you usually don't notice until something's broken. Cron Job Scheduler makes every event visible and controllable.
- View every scheduled WP-Cron event in one list
- See what's overdue or stuck at a glance
- Run, pause or delete events on demand
- Spot runaway or duplicate tasks slowing the site
How it works
From hidden background jobs to full control.No code, no wp-cron internals, no guesswork.
You do not need a developer to keep scheduled tasks on track. List every event, see what's wrong, and run, pause, or delete it, from your phone or dashboard across all your sites.
1
List every event
Cron Job Scheduler reads your WP-Cron schedule and lists every event, the hook, its next run time, and how often it repeats, across all your connected sites.
2
Spot what's wrong
Overdue, stuck, runaway, and duplicate events are flagged, so you can immediately see which jobs aren't firing on time and which are firing far too often.
3
Run, pause, or delete
Trigger an overdue job to run now, pause one you don't need, or delete leftover events, and keep an eye on cron health everywhere from one dashboard.
Why it matters
Why cron visibility matters.Silent scheduled tasks fail without any warning.
WordPress's scheduling system, WP-Cron, doesn't run on a real server clock, it's triggered by page visits, so it only fires when someone loads your site. Source: WordPress Developer Handbook, Cron. On low-traffic sites that means scheduled jobs can be delayed or missed entirely, so backups don't run, scheduled posts don't publish, and cleanup tasks pile up, all without any error to warn you.
Cron Job Scheduler turns that silent system into something you can watch and steer. See what's overdue, run it on demand, kill the runaway tasks dragging down performance, and monitor cron health across every site. That is the WP Tailwatch difference: oversight built in, instead of one more plugin to bolt on.

FAQ
Cron Job Scheduler questions.Answers to what site owners ask us most.
Still deciding whether to manage WP-Cron yourself or let WP Tailwatch watch it for you? These are the questions we hear most about what gets shown, what you can control, and how monitoring works across sites.
Cron Job Scheduler shows every scheduled WP-Cron event on your site in one list. You can see what is due, overdue, or stuck, run, pause, or delete events, and spot runaway or duplicate tasks, then monitor cron health across all your connected sites.
WP-Cron is triggered by page visits rather than the server clock, so on low-traffic sites scheduled jobs can be delayed or missed until someone loads a page. Cron Job Scheduler makes those overdue events visible so you can run them manually or investigate.
Yes. Cron Job Scheduler flags events that are past their scheduled time or stuck, so you can immediately see which backups, publishing, or cleanup tasks have not run when they should have, instead of finding out after something breaks.
Yes. You can trigger a cron event to run now, pause one you do not want firing, or delete events that should not exist, all from the dashboard, without editing code or digging through wp-cron internals.
Yes. Plugins sometimes leave behind runaway or duplicate cron events that fire too often and drag down performance. Cron Job Scheduler surfaces those tasks so you can pause or remove the ones causing unnecessary load.
