 * Hi,
 * I need some help regarding how scheduling works.
 * I have been trying to set a timeframe, for example letting it run every 1 minute.
 * I have set the “global” to “1 minute” and hit save. But after 1 minute, nothing
   happens.
 * There is also the cache option, which I don’t understand fully. The cache is 
   from where? Source, or cache in my wordpress? What is the benefit of source vs
   cache?
 * What is the automatic/manual setting? Why does it only run the job when there
   is someone visiting my site, and not follow my custom time?
 * I also do not quite understand the cron job function. If I do not use that, does
   it follow the plugin custom setting?
 * Sorry if I have too many questions, but the options you have are just too confusing.
