Description

Hookniva Workflow Monitor for WooCommerce helps diagnose failed Action Scheduler jobs, scheduled actions that have remained pending for more than 24 hours, and paused or disabled WooCommerce webhooks.

If you are investigating WooCommerce’s “past-due actions found; something may be wrong” warning, recurring background-job failures, or webhook problems, Hookniva gives you a read-only health summary, plain-language impact guidance, and direct links to the relevant WooCommerce troubleshooting screens.

Automatic checks run about every 12 hours and can email newly detected priority issues.

Read-only by design

Hookniva Workflow Monitor reports and explains problems without automatically changing store data. It does not retry jobs, reactivate webhooks, modify cron settings, edit orders, or change WooCommerce configuration.

Privacy

Hookniva Workflow Monitor stores its settings, scan results, issue history, ignored-issue list, and alert email address in the local WordPress database. It does not transmit diagnostic data to a Hookniva Workflow Monitor server.

When email alerts are enabled, WordPress sends the alert through the site’s configured mail system.

Installation

Install and activate WooCommerce.
Install and activate Hookniva Workflow Monitor for WooCommerce.
Open WooCommerce > Hookniva.
Run the first health check to establish a baseline.
Confirm the alert email address and send a test email.
Leave automatic monitoring enabled if you want scheduled checks and alerts.

For low-traffic sites, use a real server cron or a host-provided cron feature so WordPress scheduled events run reliably.

FAQ

Does Hookniva Workflow Monitor change my WooCommerce settings?: No. The plugin only reads diagnostic data and stores its own monitoring state. It does not retry failed jobs, enable webhooks, change orders, or modify WooCommerce configuration.
What does the health score mean?: The score is a quick summary based on the number and severity of currently detected issues. Informational items can remain visible without lowering the score.
Why are some failed jobs marked as informational?: Not every failed background job affects orders or payments. Hookniva Workflow Monitor classifies selected known jobs so low-risk maintenance failures are not treated like payment or integration failures.
Why did I not receive an email for an informational item?: Email alerts are intentionally limited to newly detected priority or warning issues. Informational items stay on the dashboard without generating alert email.
Does this plugin send store data to an external service?: No. Health data and monitoring history are stored in your WordPress database. Alert email is sent through your site’s normal WordPress mail setup. The plugin does not include telemetry or a remote monitoring service.
Does automatic monitoring work if WP-Cron is disabled?: Yes, if your host or server runs WordPress scheduled events another way. For example, a server cron can trigger WordPress scheduled events even when visitor-triggered WP-Cron is disabled.
How long is monitoring history kept?: The plugin keeps up to 35 days of new/resolved event history, capped to a limited number of records.
Can this help with “Action Scheduler: past-due actions found; something may be wrong”?: Yes. Hookniva checks for scheduled actions that have remained pending for more than 24 hours and recent Action Scheduler failures. It also shows related cron status and links to WooCommerce Scheduled Actions for deeper troubleshooting. It does not automatically fix or retry actions.
