Email Alert When WP-Cron Stops Running
Warns the admin by email when scheduled tasks are more than an hour overdue, so you notice before scheduled posts, digests and backups silently stop.

Find and Remove Orphaned Cron Events
Adds Tools > Orphaned Cron Events, listing scheduled tasks that no active plugin or theme handles any more (often left by uninstalled plugins) and removing them after you confirm.
Keep Completed Background Tasks for 7 Days
Shortens how long WooCommerce's Action Scheduler keeps finished tasks from 31 days to 7, which keeps its database tables small on busy stores.
Log Scheduled Tasks That Take Too Long
Measures how long each scheduled task (cron event) takes to run and records the slow ones under Tools > Slow Cron Tasks, so you can spot the plugin that makes WP-Cron sluggish.
Pause WP-Cron Outside Production
Stops scheduled tasks from running on local, development and staging copies of the site, so a cloned database does not send newsletters, sync orders or run backups twice.
Raise the Memory Limit for Admin Tasks
Gives memory-hungry admin tasks like image processing and imports more room, without raising the limit for every front-end visit.
Remove Leftover Data From Uninstalled Plugins
Adds Tools > Leftover Plugin Data, where you enter a prefix (such as old_slider_) to see how many options, post meta, user meta and scheduled tasks use it, and delete them after reviewing the counts.
Run WP-Cron From a Real Cron Job
Stops WordPress from checking for scheduled tasks on every page view; you trigger wp-cron.php from your server's cron instead, which is faster and more reliable.
Run a Daily Task With WP-Cron
Schedules a custom task once a day and gives you a function to fill in, for example to clean up data or send a report. Includes the scheduling and the hook.
Scheduled Cron Events Viewer
Adds a Tools > Cron Events screen listing every scheduled WP-Cron event with its next run time, recurrence and hook name, to debug missed or duplicate tasks.
Shared To-Do List Widget
Adds a team to-do list to the dashboard where editors can add tasks, tick them off and clear finished ones, shared by everyone who can edit content.
Shortcut Buttons Dashboard Widget
Puts big buttons for the most common tasks, like writing a post or editing menus, at the top of the dashboard. Ideal for clients.
Upcoming Scheduled Tasks Widget
Lists the next WP-Cron events and flags overdue ones, a quick way to spot a broken scheduler.
Weekly and Monthly WP-Cron Schedules
Adds "Once Weekly" and "Once Monthly" recurrences to WP-Cron so your own scheduled tasks, or plugins that offer a schedule picker, can run less often than daily.
