Description Description
Warning: This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE. For information about casting to booleans see the PHP documentation. Use the ===
operator for testing the return value of this function.
Parameters Parameters
- $hook
-
(string) (Required) Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
- $args
-
(array) (Optional) Array containing each separate argument to pass to the hook's callback function. Although not passed to a callback, these arguments are used to uniquely identify the event, so they should be the same as those used when originally scheduling the event.
Default value: array()
Return Return
(int|false) On success an integer indicating number of events unscheduled (0 indicates no events were registered with the hook and arguments combination), false if unscheduling one or more events fail.
More Information More Information
If you created a scheduled job using a hook and arguments, you cannot delete it by supplying only the hook. Similarly, if you created a set of scheduled jobs that share a hook but have different arguments, you cannot delete them using only the hook name, you have to delete them all individually using the hook name and arguments.
