Good morning good people :)

Any of you guys have experience with wp-cron.php (Cron jobs in wordpress)

@R1ddler what's up mate

Hey @JackJohansson. Working with cron jobs

any problems?

Do you have any experience with setting up cron jobs on wordpress?

I've have used cron jobs before with php

yes a dozen of times

but not with wordpress

I only need it executed once a day

I'm using the accuweather api that retrieves the temp for the past 24hrs given a city/location

add_action( 'init', 'my_function' );
function my_function() {
	if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'your-action-hook' ) ) {
		wp_schedule_event( strtotime( '00:00:00' ), 'daily', 'your-action-hook' );
	}
}

add_action( 'your-action-hook', 'your_callback_function' );

all you need

and your_callback_function will run every day on 00:00

@R1ddler Is the code clear? Or does it need any explanation?

sry a colleague needed assistance

sure

what is 'your-action-hook'?

is it the function that uses the api?

that i will schedule

it's the custom action hook that will be enqueued every 24 hours

and when it's run, it will run the your_callback_function

which is where you need to process the weather data.

so your_callback_function is where i put my code that uses the API

Yes

Thanks

I'll give it a spin

no problem

where's your avatar from? looks familiar

I have it on a hundred of more accounts everywhere

sockpuppets?

Is there a way to control the rendering order of HTML elements on a page? For example: Load <header>, then load <main>, then load <footer>...

I have HTTP2 enabled, but there are other elements further down on the page which are stealing load times from more important elements earlier on at the top of the page, which is what the first user sees when clicking to a new page.

@MichaelEcklund Have you looked into any HTML pre-processor like pug?
