Install
The author publishes release zips, so WP-CLI can install straight from GitHub:
wp plugin install https://github.com/soderlind/dio-cron/releases/download/2.4.0/dio-cron.zipAlso on Packagist as soderlind/dio-cron:
composer require soderlind/dio-cronDeclares an update source (soderlind/dio-cron), so updates arrive through the plugin's own updater.

DIO Cron
Run cron jobs on all sites in a WordPress multisite network. Uses Action Scheduler for better reliability and performance.
"Why not just use a simple cron job?" I run a cluster of WordPress sites and tried using shell scripts with WP-CLI, but ran into race condition problems. I needed a way to run cron jobs on all sites without them overlapping. This plugin solves that problem.
What It Does
DIO Cron triggers WordPress cron jobs across all public sites in your multisite network through external endpoints. Instead of each site running its own cron independently, this plugin coordinates everything from one place using Action Scheduler for reliable queue-based processing.
Key Benefits:
- No race conditions or overlapping cron jobs
- External trigger architecture for better reliability
- Queue-based processing with built-in retry logic
- Comprehensive admin interface with enhanced monitoring
- Built-in security with token authentication and rate limiting
- Performance optimized for large multisite networks
- Enhanced error handling and recovery mechanisms
Notes:
- v2.4.0 updates Network-Wide Stats to final
