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) Arguments that were to be passed to the hook's callback function.
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.

/**
* Filter to preflight or hijack clearing a scheduled hook.

* Returning a non-null value will short-circuit the normal unscheduling
* process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.
*
* For plugins replacing wp-cron, return the number of events successfully
* unscheduled (zero if no events were registered with the hook) or false
* if unscheduling one or more events fails.
*
* @since 5.1.0
*
* @param null|int|false $pre Value to return instead. Default null to continue unscheduling the event.
* @param string $hook Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
* @param array $args Arguments to pass to the hook's callback function.
