### Privacy

Stores paused jobs list, last 100 log rows, custom intervals, and 3 settings in 
wp_options (autoload=no). Auto-prunes log after 3/7/14 days (default 7). No personal
data stored. No external requests except a loopback GET to your own site for health
check. All data deleted on uninstall if enabled in Settings.

    New.
 2. Activate through the Plugins screen.
 3. Go to Tools > Cron Manager.

## FAQ

### Why is wp-cron not working / why do posts miss schedule?

Low traffic, caching, or DISABLE_WP_CRON can stop schedules from firing. Open the
Health tab — it shows enabled, reachable, late count and total with Green / Yellow/
Red plus fix steps (e.g. set up a real server cron hitting wp-cron.php).

### How do I run a cron job manually?

Find the event in Tools > Cron Manager and click Run now. The run is logged in the
Log tab with duration.

### Can I pause a cron without deleting it?

Yes. Click Pause — the job is kept as a backup and will not run until you Resume
it. Core jobs cannot be deleted (blocked with a warning).

### Will this slow my site?

No. Admin pages only. No CSS/JS on the frontend.

### Can I break my site?

Core jobs cannot be deleted (blocked with a warning). Custom jobs can be deleted.
Pause keeps a backup to resume.

### Does it send data outside?

No. Everything stays in wp_options (autoload=no). No remote calls except a loopback
check to your own wp-cron.php for the Health tab.

### Can I add PHP code to a job?

No, and that is intentional for safety and org approval. You can only trigger an
existing hook.
