This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/azanumer/wp-cron-monitor/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

See every scheduled WP-Cron event, spot overdue ("missed") jobs, and fix them — without digging through wp cron event list.

Full event table at Tools → Cron Monitor: hook name, next run (with relative time), recurrence, args
Overdue highlighting — events past their due time (+ 10 min grace) are flagged red; usually means cron isn't firing (common on DISABLE_WP_CRON sites with no server cron)
Run now — executes any event immediately via do_action_ref_array(), exactly as cron would
Unschedule — removes one event (nonce-protected, with confirm dialog)
Admin notice — warns you (max once per week) when overdue events exist

// Change the "overdue" grace period (default 600 seconds):
add_filter( 'wcm_overdue_grace', function() { return 3600; } );

Events are identified by hook + args signature, so two schedules of the same hook are handled independently.
Run-now executes the hook in the current request — long jobs may hit PHP timeouts, same as in any manual run.
Uninstalling removes the plugin's only option.
