## Description

Debug Bar Cron adds information about WP scheduled events to a new panel in the 
Debug Bar. This plugin is an extension for
 Debug Bar and thus is dependent upon

Once installed, you will have access to the following information:

 * Number of scheduled events
 * If cron is currently running
 * Time of next event
 * Current time
 * List of custom scheduled events
 * List of core scheduled events
 * List of schedules

### 󠀁[Great for checking if scheduled events running](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-for-checking-of-scheduled-events-running/)󠁿

This has been great for checking if WordPress’s scheduled events are firing. Good
for checking if you need to setup a real cron job or if that real cron job is failing.
Very clear presentation.
