apply_filters( ‘pre_schedule_event’, null|bool|WP_Error $result, object $event, bool $wp_error )

In this article

Filter to override scheduling an event.

Description

Returning a non-null value will short-circuit adding the event to the cron array, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.

Both single events and recurring events are passed through this filter; single events have $event->schedule as false, whereas recurring events have this set to a recurrence from wp_get_schedules() . Recurring events also have the integer recurrence interval set as $event->interval.

For plugins replacing wp-cron, it is recommended you check for an identical event within ten minutes and apply the ‘schedule_event’ filter to check if another plugin has disallowed the event before scheduling.

Return true if the event was scheduled, false or a WP_Error if not.

Parameters

$resultnull|bool|WP_Error
The value to return instead. Default null to continue adding the event.

  • timestamp int
    Unix timestamp (UTC) for when to next run the event.
  • schedule string|false
    How often the event should subsequently recur.
  • args array
    Array containing each separate argument to pass to the hook’s callback function.

    Optional. The interval time in seconds for the schedule. Only present for recurring events.
