   Hello,

   I am trying to add custom intervals for the WP cron in a plugin.
   It run with "hourly", "daily" default recurrence time.
   It dont' run when I add my own custom recurrence time for the function wp_schedule_event.

   I want to execute a function every X hours (defined by users).

   Thanks.

   Here is the code:

   Hello.

   Looks like i have the same problem. I am writing a plugin and playing with wp_schedule_event at the moment.

   I added a custom recurrence via the 'cron_schedules' filter in the constructor of my plugin class. Next thing i did was putting wp_schedule_event in an activation hook with my custom recurrence, but it does not get added. When i use something like 'daily' it gets added but not with my own recurrence.

   Lookin at wp-includes/cron.php i see this:

   $schedules = wp_get_schedules();
   
   if ( !isset( $schedules[$recurrence] ) )
   	return false;

   That seems that the custom recurrence is not available at the point i call wp_schedule_event and therefore does not get added.

   Probably have to call wp_schedule_event on another hook and not on plugin activation, though that seems to be a nice place for it.

   Found the issue with my code. The outer array returned from my 'cron_schedules' filter had a missing 'named index'.
