Harvify Cron Monitor

Changelog

1.0.21

• Removed the Freemius anonymous_mode option, so activation now shows Freemius’s
  standard opt-in screen. Nothing is sent before you answer it, and choosing Skip
  leaves the free tier fully usable and still sends nothing.
• The “External services” section now describes that flow accurately, and no longer
  lists alert channels that are not part of this download.

1.0.18

• Removed: scheduled execution of custom PHP — from the free build and the Pro
  build alike. The evaluator, the “Allow PHP events” setting, the “PHP code” option
  on the add-event form and the settings control that switched it on are all gone.
  This is not a feature that moved behind a licence: no build of 1.0.18 contains it,
  and there is nothing to upgrade to in order to get it back. Any PHP event you had
  scheduled stops running. Schedule an existing hook, or a URL event, instead.
• Changed: per-hook performance metrics are now supplied by the separately
  distributed Pro plugin rather than being present-but-inactive in this download.
• Changed: every identifier this plugin owns has been renamed off its old
  three-character hcm_ prefix, which is shorter than WordPress.org accepts.
  Functions, options, cron hooks and the plugin’s own actions and filters are now
  harvify_cron_*; global constants are HARVIFY_CRON_*; classes are
  Harvify_Cron_*.
• Developers: the REST namespace is now harvify-cron/v1. The old hcm/v1
  namespace is GONE and there is no compatibility alias — any code that calls
  hcm/v1 routes will 404 until it is updated. Also renamed: the admin script and
  style handle hcm-admin is now harvify-cron-admin, the localized JavaScript
  object hcmAdmin is now harvifyCronAdmin, and the plugin’s hooks are now
  harvify_cron_run_recorded, harvify_cron_digest_frequency_changed and
  harvify_cron_fs_loaded.
• Your configuration is carried across for you. On the first page load after
  updating, your settings, your custom schedules, your uninstall-data preference and
  every event you had scheduled are migrated onto the new names. Nothing has to be
  re-entered and no event has to be rescheduled by hand. Execution history is
  untouched — the database tables are unchanged.
• Hardened: the add-event endpoint now rejects any event type other than a
  standard hook or a URL outright. Previously an unrecognised type was quietly
  treated as a standard event when a hook name happened to be supplied. Nothing
  was ever executed either way, but the refusal is now explicit.
• Corrected the External services section: URL events are described accurately as a
  capability that is available by default with no destination configured, and the
  disclosure now states that WordPress’s standard request header identifies your
  site address to a URL event’s destination.
• No other behaviour changes. Monitoring, event listing, history, failure detection,
  scheduling and URL events are unchanged.

1.0.15

• Added: a single Support entry in the Harvify menu, so you can reach us from
  inside WordPress. Until now no plugin offered a contact route at all. One entry for
  the whole suite rather than one per plugin.
• No behaviour changes.

1.0.14

• Added: an External services section to this readme, naming every third-party
  service the plugin can contact, exactly what is sent, when, and each provider’s terms
  and privacy policy. Required for WordPress.org submission.
• Changed: the Contributors field now names the correct WordPress.org account.
• No behaviour changes.

1.0.13

• Rebuild: the published 1.0.12 package was generated from an earlier tree. No behaviour
  changes beyond bringing the package back in step with the source.

1.0.12

• Added: a single Manage licence link on the Plan screen, so an active customer can
  deactivate this site, change their licence key or re-check their licence without
  needing a URL from support. No per-plugin Account tab is added.

1.0.11

• Fixed: updating the plugin did not update its database. WordPress only runs a plugin’s
  setup routine when you activate it, never when it updates — so a change to the plugin’s own
  tables never reached sites that had simply updated. On those sites some features failed with a
  database error. The update now applies itself on the next page load.
• One upgrade link instead of one per plugin. With several Harvify plugins active the
  menu showed a row called “Upgrade” for each of them, all identically labelled, and it kept
  saying Upgrade to people who had already bought. They are replaced by a single Plan
  screen that says what the bundle costs, what it covers, and whether your licence is active.
• The dashboard is quiet again. Each plugin used to add its own “opt in to make this
  better” notice to the main WordPress dashboard, so five plugins meant five notices. Harvify
  plugins now share one queue: promotional notices appear only on Harvify’s own screens, and
  only one at a time. Licence and account messages are never held back.
• Fixed: the “Data & uninstall” box covered the page. It was being drawn into the admin
  footer, which WordPress pins to the bottom of the screen, so it floated on top of whatever was
  underneath it. It now sits in the page like any other card. Saving it also tells you what it
  saved, instead of just reloading.
• Fixed: the upgrade screen advertised the wrong number of sites. Several plugins listed
  the Freelancer and Agency plans as covering 5 and 25 sites. They cover 3 and 10.

1.0.10

• The new “Data & uninstall” control did not appear on this plugin’s screen. Its shared-package
  loader never listed admin-ui, so the package shipped in the download but was never loaded and
  the control could not render — which also meant the opt-in could never be switched on. Fixed by
  loading the package. Your data was never at risk: with the control unreachable the plugin always
  took the safe path and kept everything.

1.0.9

• Uninstall no longer destroys your data by default. Deleting the plugin used to remove
  everything it had stored, with no way to stop it — so deleting it to troubleshoot took the lot
  with it. Now the default is to KEEP your data, and a new Data & uninstall control on the
  plugin’s own screen lets you opt in to a full wipe if that is what you want. Scheduled jobs are
  always tidied up either way, and the wipe works with no internet connection.

1.0.8

• Fixed: the tables ran off the right-hand side of the screen. The scheduled-events table
  has six columns and a hook name that cannot wrap, so on a 1280px display it came out wider
  than the window: the Status and Actions columns were cut off past the edge, and the whole
  admin page grew a horizontal scrollbar that took the sidebar and header with it. Hook names
  now wrap, and each table sits in its own scrolling area, so any overflow stays inside the
  card instead of dragging the page sideways. All four tables are fixed, not just the one.

1.0.7

• Housekeeping: removed five admin screens that nothing could reach — the pre-SPA PHP pages,
  replaced by the current monitoring app. No feature changes; one of them was shipping inside
  the premium build.

1.0.6

• New: long-running event alerts. Cron Monitor has always recorded how long every task took;
  it can now tell you when one takes longer than a threshold you set (30 seconds by default), on
  the same channels as the missed and failed alerts. Only durations the monitor measured
  directly count — runs it could only estimate are marked “approx.” and never trigger an alert,
  so the channel stays worth listening to. One alert per hook per six hours.

1.0.5

• Your licence is now manageable from the plugin itself. The Account screen was previously
  hidden, which also hid Deactivate License — so a licence could not be released from one
  site to move it to another without contacting support. It is visible again, along with the
  licence key, plan, Sync and Change License.
• Harvify → Tools now opens with a Your licences table: every installed Harvify plugin,
  the plan it is on, whether Pro features are actually running, and a link to its Account screen.
  Freemius gives each product its own separate Account page, so this is the one place that
  answers “what am I on” across the whole bundle.
• The repeated “Opt in to make … better!” admin notice no longer appears. Licence, plan and
  update notices are unaffected — only the opt-in prompt is suppressed.

1.0.4

• Change: License activation now uses per-plugin key entry — enter your bundle license key on each Pro plugin to unlock Pro. Improves activation reliability.

1.0.3

• New: custom cron schedules — define named intervals (name, display, seconds; minimum 60s) that register via cron_schedules and are available to any event; deletion is blocked while an event still uses the schedule.
• New: inline event edit — change an existing event’s schedule and/or next-run time in place (no more delete + re-add). Timing only: the hook, arguments and payload are never touched, so no new code-execution surface.

1.0.2

• New admin design system (Harvify Admin Kit): the admin screen is now a single-page app with a branded header, first-run onboarding, section navigation (Cron Events, History, Insights, Settings), skeleton loader, coaching empty states, an at-a-glance Insights panel (scheduled events, overdue, 7-day runs/errors, cron-health warnings), and a contextual, dismissible upgrade card. UI layer only — event management, execution history, detection and free/Pro gating are unchanged.

1.0.1

• Internal: uninstall cleanup now runs on Freemius’s after_uninstall hook (removed uninstall.php) for Freemius Deployment compatibility. What gets removed on uninstall is unchanged.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
• WP-Cron event listing + full management (run/pause/resume/delete) with core-event guard.
• Add standard and URL events (security-contained).
• Execution history with precise Action Scheduler timing and best-effort WP-Cron timing.
• Overdue/missed/broken-cron detection + dashboard widget + CSV export.
• Pro: Email/Slack/Discord/Telegram alerts, auto-retry, per-hook performance, digests, multisite view.
