What problem does it solve?

WordPress cron is notoriously tricky to manage: tasks can be missed, duplicated, or poorly timed, especially when activating or deactivating plugins or running large networks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Idempotent scheduling guards using wp_next_scheduled to prevent duplicates on reactivation.
• Clear activation/deactivation lifecycle examples for per-site and network-wide cron.
• Guidance on choosing between native WP cron and Action Scheduler for scalable workloads and debugging.
• Multisite-aware scheduling best practices for per-blog cron in a WordPress network.

Quick Start

Define your first scheduled task in activation and guard it with wp_next_scheduled to prevent duplicates.
