Scheduled job disappears from my list

[Carl RingwallParticipant]

My schedules have disappeared from my saved scheduled jobs.
This has happened 3x in the last month. What could cause this? I have attached my info file.

Note that wp-cron is disabled; I’m running cron jobs to execute wp-cron at specific times.

Hello Carl,

Are the scheduler jobs getting deleted after each run or are they getting deleted randomly?

What is the duration of the scheduler jobs that you are creating?

I am also seeing that you are using a slightly old version of Bulk Delete. Can you update to the latest version and give it a try?

[Carl RingwallParticipant]

It’s a random occurance. I’m setting my posts type delete job for 2am and then I trigger wp-cron with a cron job at 2:05 and 2:07.

I did find one thing that may be the issue; softalicious sets a backup at 1:52 am on Sat…I’m thinking the backup may be running into the cron process? What do you think? I’ve set the backup to run at another time.

I’ll update the plugin version.

Thanks for the update.

Hello Carl,

Yeah, that could be a problem.

Can you please try by setting the backup to some other time to see if it still happens?

[Carl RingwallParticipant]

Ok, I have put that change in place, we’ll see that happens.

[SudarKeymaster]

Sure.

Let me know what happens when your backup job runs next time.

[Carl RingwallParticipant]

Ok, backup job moved to 1am, and my bulk delete job did not run at 2am – wp-cron was executed, according to email notifications.

The scheduled job disappeared from the control panel list.

Here is the options array after I re-scheduled the delete job:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [selected_types] => Array ( [0] => cars-publish [1] => photos-publish [2] => option-publish ) [restrict] => [limit_to] => 0 [force_delete] => 1 [date_op] => [days] => 0 ) )

I want this to run daily – is the [days] => 0 correct?

[Carl RingwallParticipant]

PS Backup job did not run last night – it is scheduled for Saturdays only.

[SudarKeymaster]

Hello Carl,

The job options looks correct. Days should be 0.

Just to confirm, you choose the repeat option when you created the schedule job right?

[Carl RingwallParticipant]

Correct. I think I’m going to just create my own php script to do the deletes, but thank you for your help.

Hello Carl,

Apologies for the issue you are facing.

Would it be possible for you to give us access to your server to check out what is happening?

This is the first time someone has complained about the scheduled jobs disappearing. Also I am not able to replicate it in any of my servers.

[Carl RingwallParticipant]

I can, let me know secure method.

I was thinking, many plugins provide a parameterized url that can be cronned manually. I would prefer that…just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree with you. It would be useful for people who don’t want to use WP Cron. I have added it to my todo list. You can track the progress of this task at https://github.com/sudar/bulk-delete/issues/110
