## Description

AMG Labs Cron Inspector provides a simple, secure way to view and manage WordPress
scheduled events (WP-Cron) directly from your admin dashboard.

**Features:**

 * **Cron Event Listing** – View all scheduled cron events in a clean, sortable 
   table
 * **Event Details** – See hook names, next run times, recurrence schedules, and
   instance counts
 * **Visual Status Indicators** – Quickly identify healthy, irregular, or overdue
   cron events
 * **Manual Execution** – Safely trigger any cron hook with a single click
 * **Health Checks** – Automatic detection of common WP-Cron issues

**Security First:**

 * Read-only inspection (no modification or deletion of cron jobs)
 * Nonce verification on all actions
 * Capability checks requiring ‘manage_options’
 * No external requests or telemetry
 * No file system writes

**Perfect For:**

 * Developers debugging cron-related issues
 * Site administrators monitoring scheduled tasks
 * Troubleshooting plugins that rely on WP-Cron

 3. Navigate to Tools > Cron Inspector to view your scheduled events

## FAQ

### Is this plugin safe to use on production sites?

Yes. AMG Labs Cron Inspector is read-only by design. It cannot modify or delete 
cron events. The only action it performs is manually triggering existing hooks, 
which requires admin capability and nonce verification.

### What does “overdue” mean?

A cron event is marked as overdue when its scheduled run time has passed but the
event hasn’t been executed yet. This can happen when:

 * `DISABLE_WP_CRON` is set to true
 * No site traffic has occurred to trigger WP-Cron
 * A cron event is taking too long to execute

### What does DISABLE_WP_CRON mean?

When `DISABLE_WP_CRON` is set to `true` in your wp-config.php, WordPress will not
automatically run scheduled events on page loads. This is typically done when using
a server-side cron job (recommended for high-traffic sites).

### Can I delete cron events with this plugin?

No. AMG Labs Cron Inspector is intentionally read-only to prevent accidental data
loss. To delete cron events, use the WordPress function `wp_unschedule_event()` 
or a plugin designed for cron management.

### Does this plugin work with Multisite?

Yes, but it only shows cron events for the current site. Network admins can view
cron events on each site individually.
