Remove JetPack cron jobs
Naar navigatie springen

Even long after removing JetPack, new JetPack related cron jobs are added to the cron list. Removing them through wp-admin » Tools » Cron Events doesn't help. That sounds like an interesting problem.
What events?
Details:
$ wp cron event list | grep jetpack
hook next_run_gmt next_run_relative recurrence
-------------------- ------------------- ----------------- ----------
jetpack_clean_nonces 2023-12-05 07:30:31 now 1 hour
jetpack_v2_heartbeat 2023-12-05 07:30:31 now 1 day
Plugins & code snippets
None of this worked:
- Automattic offers a plugin to fix this [1]. It can be installed through
wp plugin install https://github.com/automattic/jetpack-addons/archive/add/jp-rm-options.zip→ It doesn't work - Someone here suggests Advanced DB Cleaner PRO to clean it up → It doesn't work
- Someone here also suggests WP Crontrol to clean it up → It doesn't work
- Automattic has some php code. What I think the essence of it, can be executed through
php01="wp_clear_scheduled_hook( 'jetpack_clean_nonces' );"; wp eval "$php01"→ It doesn't work.
Added by WooCommerce?
The two entries above, only reappear if WooCommerce is active. And now for something surprising: They are related [2]:
You may already be aware that you don’t need the Jetpack plugin to use WooPayments. However, your WordPress.com account is still linked through Jetpack’s service using a PHP library.
Is that a problem?
Before delving into an analysis below, a key question: Is that a problem?. Actually, no: If this library fulfills a reasonably role within our WooCommerce sites, that would be fine with me.
So much WooCommerce jobs???
When WooCommerce is disabled and I remove all custom jobs (wp cron event list --fields=hook --format=csv | xargs -I % wp cron event delete), I have a nicely clean list with only 9 system jobs:
$ wp cron event list +----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+------------+ | hook | next_run_gmt | next_run_relative | recurrence | +----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+------------+ | recovery_mode_clean_ | 2023-12-05 17:19:47 | now | 1 day | | expired_keys | | | | | wp_privacy_delete_ol | 2023-12-05 17:19:48 | now | 1 hour | | d_export_files | | | | | wp_update_plugins | 2023-12-05 17:19:48 | now | 12 hours | | wp_update_themes | 2023-12-05 17:19:48 | now | 12 hours | | wp_version_check | 2023-12-05 17:19:48 | now | 12 hours | | wp_site_health_sched | 2023-12-06 17:19:49 | 1 day | 1 week | | uled_check | | | | +----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+------------+
Once WooCommerce is activated, I get again a rather messy list - uncluding one job without an action.

After visiting wp-cron.php all jobs seem to get executed, plus at least one new job that is now created:
