What Scheduler does

Scheduler creates recurring jobs for WordPress maintenance workflows. Jobs can run on a cadence, target an instance, execute selected actions, and record run history.

Job options

  • Choose cadence such as hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly when available.
  • Select the target instance.
  • Choose update, backup, script, email report, or built-in site testing options.
  • Enable or disable jobs without deleting their history.

Run history

Each scheduler run records status, timing, target, and output. Failed runs should be reviewed before relying on later automation.
