The only features in AIOSEOP that use WP_CRON are – 1. the scheduled updates to search engines for XML sitemap (http://semperplugins.com/documentation/xml-sitemaps-module/#schedule-updates), and 2. if you’ve disabled Dynamically Generated Sitemaps, and have configured the plugin to update a static sitemap on a schedule, that uses WP_CRON.

Thanks for the info.
One more question:
Will sitemap-related tasks still run whenever wp-cron.php is called via a cron job, or do they specifically require WP_CRON to be enabled?
I’m thinking of running the cron job as often as every 10 minutes. I just don’t want it running with every page load. It raises my server’s CPU load during high-traffic times.
And my apologies for using Affect rather than Effect in my thread title. I revised my original title and forgot to go back and change Affect to Effect. I’m in such a fog today; I keep making such moronic errors in everything I do. Ugh.
Hi jjbte,
As far as I’m aware, all plugin cron jobs should still work… though you’ll obviously want to test.
