How to use cron_request filter in WordPress

Example 1: Modifying Cron Request Defaults

This example demonstrates how to modify the default cron request arguments. You might want to tweak these for specific requirements on your website.

    function weplugins_modify_cron_request_defaults($cron_request_array, $doing_wp_cron) { 
        // Update the $cron_request_array variable according to your website requirements and return this variable.
        return $cron_request_array; 
    }
    // Add the filter
    add_filter("cron_request", "weplugins_modify_cron_request_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 2: Removing a Hook Callback

If you need to remove a previously registered hook, here’s how you can do it. Remember to use the same callback function name, priority, and number of arguments.

    remove_filter("cron_request", "weplugins_modify_cron_request_defaults", 10, 2);
    

Example 3: Conditional Modification

Sometimes, you may want to conditionally modify the cron request. This example shows how you can achieve that based on your specific conditions.

    function weplugins_conditional_cron_request($cron_request_array, $doing_wp_cron) { 
        // Check some condition
        if (some_condition()) {
            // Modify the $cron_request_array as needed
        }
        return $cron_request_array;
    }
    add_filter("cron_request", "weplugins_conditional_cron_request", 10, 2);
