Manage WP Cron (WebUI Method)
- Open the cPFence WebUI and choose the server to manage via Switch Server.
- Navigate to Tools & Utilities ➜ WP-AutoShield Bulk Tools.
- Toggle Run on specific WordPress sites only if you want to target a subset; otherwise leave it off.
- Open Disable Default WordPress Cron to turn off
wp-cron.php, or Enable Default WordPress Cron to restore it. - Click the corresponding action button and monitor the streamed results.
Tip: Ensure autoshield_disable_wp_cron is set to ‘Off’ in the Settings page (if it’s currently on), or WP-AutoShield will automatically re-disable it during the next 6:10 AM run.
Command Line (CLI) Method
- SSH into the server.
- Disable WP Cron everywhere:
cpfence --bulk-disable-wp-cron - Re-enable it when needed:
cpfence --bulk-enable-wp-cron
Tip: Pair this with cpfence --bulk-run-due-wp-cron to execute scheduled events on demand.
