How to Set New Schedule for Import Cron Jobs in Feedzy?

📝 Note: This feature is available only in the premium version of Feedzy, which you can get from here.

WordPress's first cron execution time depends on setting up the scheduled tasks. This means that when a visitor enters your website, WordPress checks if any scheduled tasks need to be executed first, such as scheduling posts for publication or verifying if there are any available updates.

To make sure that a scheduled task is executed at a specific time, Feedzy allows you to schedule the first cron execution time.

To add a new frequency (schedule) option in the dropdown, you can use one of these options:

⚙️ Using a Feedzy filter

function fz_add_cron_interval( $schedules ) {
	$schedules['every_2_hours'] = array(
		'interval' => 2 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS,
		'display'  => esc_html__( 'Every 2 Hours', 'feedzy-rss-feeds' ),
	);

	return $schedules;
}
add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'fz_add_cron_interval' );

📝 Note: Here, we have added a new interval of 2 hours, but you can change the interval and display as you need.

📝Note: If you paste the code snippet into the plugin's source file, the changes will be lost when you update the plugin. The same thing may happen when you update the theme, this is why we recommend using a child theme.
