Cronjob Scheduler
Cronjob Scheduler allows you to create custom WordPress tasks that are automatically triggered on a schedule you define.
Cronjob Scheduler does not overwrite WordPress's existing scheduling functionality, which it and plugins use for a number of internal tasks.
Instead, it simply replaces the standard WordPress mechanism which triggers them with a more reliable one from your operating system.
In addition, it helps improve your site speed by making the server handle recurring tasks, rather than unsuspecting visitors...
The motivation behind building this plugin was out of frustration with other similar plugins that claim to do the same thing.
Cronjob Scheduler allows you to run frequent tasks reliably and timely without anyone having to visit your site at all. All you need is at least 1 action and a Unix Crontab schedule!

Running your cron tasks
Most shared providers offer a crontab manager, or you can speak to your shared hosting provider about setting up our cron job. If you manage the server, you can setup your cron using the crontab service. Make sure that wget is installed befor doing this.
