custom scheduled event does not fire-CodePudding

Hi I have apparently correct snippets here, but I don't see it working. in my case I am needing to delete the views every 10 seconds, but instead of that when updating the page they keep adding views. Does anyone know what is wrong?


add_action('woocommerce_share','setPostViews',70);

function setPostViews() {

  global $product;
    
    $product_id=$product->id;

    $count_key = 'post_views_count';
    $count = get_post_meta($product_id, $count_key, true);
    if($count==''){
        $count = 0;
        delete_post_meta($product_id, $count_key);
        add_post_meta($product_id, $count_key, '0');
    }else{
        $count  ;
        update_post_meta($product_id, $count_key, $count);
    }


echo 'view::'.$count;
}


function hits_set_zero_schedule() {
  if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'hits_set_to_zero') )
    wp_schedule_event( time(), '10sec', 'hits_set_zero' );
}
add_action( 'wp', 'hits_set_zero_schedule' );

function hits_set_zero_func() {
global $product;
    
    $product_id=$product->id;
  delete_post_meta( $product_id, 'post_views_count', true );
}
add_action( 'hits_set_zero', 'hits_set_zero_func' );





function custom_cron_job_recurrence( $schedules ) 
{
    if(!isset($schedules['10sec']))
    {
        $schedules['10sec'] = array(
            'display' => __( 'Every 10 Seconds', 'twentyfifteen' ),
            'interval' => 10,
        );
    }
     
    if(!isset($schedules['15sec']))
    {
        $schedules['15sec'] = array(
        'display' => __( 'Every 15 Seconds', 'twentyfifteen' ),
        'interval' => 15,
        );
    }
     
    return $schedules;
}
add_filter( ‘cron_schedules’, ‘custom_cron_job_recurrence’ );

El resultado de

echo 'view::'.$count;

it is for example view :: 22, and update view :: 23 and so on, but I expect that every 10 seconds the result returns to 1 (or empty but the function sets 1 as a minimum). Well this does not work on my website.

CodePudding user response：

First, the cron of WordPress does not work as you might be expected as relies on your website to have a request in order to be executed meaning if you don't have a visit within 10 minutes even if a CRON job is scheduled every minute is not going to be executed.

In case you need something more reliable you can always set up a Linux cron job instead which is more reliable.

WP-Cron does not run constantly as the system cron does; it is only triggered on page load.

You can always use wp cli to test your corn being executed as expected with wp cron event run --due-now
