apply_filters( 'pre_schedule_event', null|bool $pre, stdClass $event )

Filter to preflight or hijack scheduling an event.

Description

Returning a non-null value will short-circuit adding the event to the cron array, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.

Both single events and recurring events are passed through this filter; single events have $event->schedule as false, whereas recurring events have this set to a recurrence from wp_get_schedules(). Recurring events also have the integer recurrence interval set as $event->interval.

For plugins replacing wp-cron, it is recommended you check for an identical event within ten minutes and apply the ‘schedule_event’ filter to check if another plugin has disallowed the event before scheduling.

Return true if the event was scheduled, false if not.

Parameters

$pre

(null|bool) Value to return instead. Default null to continue adding the event.

$event

(stdClass) An object containing an event's data.

  • 'hook'
    (string) Action hook to execute when the event is run.
  • 'timestamp'
    (int) Unix timestamp (UTC) for when to next run the event.
  • 'schedule'
    (string|false) How often the event should subsequently recur.
  • 'args'
    (array) Array containing each separate argument to pass to the hook's callback function.
  • 'interval'
    (int) The interval time in seconds for the schedule. Only present for recurring events.
