Adding a scheduled task (cron)

A scheduled task (also called cron) is a script that runs automatically at fixed times, for example an import every night.

Steps

1. Go to Websites and open the website.
2. Go to Files and tasks › Tasks.
3. Under Task, choose the type, for example PHP script, wp-cli command or WordPress cron.
4. Enter the script or command.
5. Under When, choose: every few minutes, every hour, daily or weekly, and the time.
6. Optionally, enter the Maximum run time (s).
7. Click Add task.

Good to know

• Times are in Dutch time.
• The output is in logs/cron.log.
• Use Run now to test the task right away. Use Pause to stop it temporarily.
• For WordPress, it is a good idea to run WordPress cron every 5 minutes.
