Cron Monitor v1.0.0

Watch WP-Cron: list scheduled events, see what is overdue, check cron is running and run any event now.

No credit card for the trial. Pro from $3.25/mo, billed annually. 14-day money-back guarantee.

WordPress runs scheduled jobs (publishing scheduled posts, backups, emails, update checks, shop clean-ups) with WP-Cron. When WP-Cron stops, nothing tells you: the jobs just quietly stop happening. Cron Monitor shows you every scheduled event, which ones are late, and whether WP-Cron is running at all.
