No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I use this plugin to monitor and manage my cron jobs effectively, especially when troubleshooting problematic tasks. The plugin provides clear insights into what each cron job is doing—or not doing—which makes identifying issues much easier. One of my favorite features is the ability to manually run important cron jobs whenever needed. It’s a lifesaver when you need to ensure critical tasks are executed without waiting for the scheduled time. Another standout feature is the convenient link in the admin bar. This allows for quick access, enabling me to act swiftly whenever necessary. This plugin has become an essential tool for managing cron jobs, and I highly recommend it to anyone needing better control over their scheduled tasks. Great thanks to the creator! Nice job.

    Certainly! “Advanced Cron Scheduler” is a WordPress plugin that enhances the functionality of the built-in cron system in WordPress. It provides more control and flexibility in scheduling and managing cron jobs within your WordPress site. The cron system in WordPress allows you to schedule tasks to be executed at specific intervals or times. These tasks can include things like publishing scheduled posts, checking for updates, sending email notifications, and more. However, the default cron system in WordPress has some limitations. It relies on user visits to trigger cron events, which means that if your site doesn’t receive regular traffic, cron jobs may not run as expected. Additionally, the default system only supports basic intervals like hourly, daily, or weekly. Advanced Cron Scheduler addresses these limitations by offering a comprehensive set of features for managing cron jobs in WordPress. Here are some key features of the plugin:
