Before you start

  • A running WordPress site in Nuvlo.

Step 1 Open Scheduled tasks

Open the site and click Settings. The Scheduled tasks card lists each task with Next run and Repeats. Click Show all … tasks to see the full list.

WordPress’s scheduled tasks.

Step 2 Run due tasks now

Click Run due tasks now to run every task that is due right now, for example after a plugin says its jobs are late.

How tasks run

Nuvlo runs WordPress’s due tasks every five minutes, on the server, instead of on visitors’ page loads. That’s why DISABLE_WP_CRON is managed by Nuvlo in wp-config.php.

For your own commands on a schedule, see Cron jobs.
