wp_reschedule_event( int $timestamp, string $recurrence, string $hook, array $args = array() )

Reschedules a recurring event.

Description

Mainly for internal use, this takes the time stamp of a previously run recurring event and reschedules it for its next run.

To change upcoming scheduled events, use wp_schedule_event() to change the recurrence frequency.

Parameters

$timestamp

(int) (Required) Unix timestamp (UTC) for when the event was scheduled.

$recurrence

(string) (Required) How often the event should subsequently recur. See wp_get_schedules() for accepted values.

$hook

(string) (Required) Action hook to execute when the event is run.

$args

(array) (Optional) Array containing each separate argument to pass to the hook's callback function.

Default value: array()

Return

(bool) True if event successfully rescheduled. False for failure.

	/**
	 * Filter to preflight or hijack rescheduling of events.
	 *
	 * Returning a non-null value will short-circuit the normal rescheduling
	 * process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.
	 *
	 * For plugins replacing wp-cron, return true if the event was successfully
	 * rescheduled, false if not.
	 *
	 * @since 5.1.0
	 *
	 * @param null|bool $pre   Value to return instead. Default null to continue adding the event.
	 * @param stdClass  $event {
	 *     An object containing an event's data.
	 *
	 *     @type string       $hook      Action hook to execute when the event is run.
	 *     @type int          $timestamp Unix timestamp (UTC) for when to next run the event.
	 *     @type string|false $schedule  How often the event should subsequently recur.
	 *     @type array        $args      Array containing each separate argument to pass to the hook's callback function.
	 *     @type int          $interval  The interval time in seconds for the schedule. Only present for recurring events.
