WP Cron Fetcher (WordPress Plugin)
Generic WordPress plugin to fetch, cache and display remote content via WP-Cron.
WP Cron Fetcher provides a lightweight framework for scheduling remote content fetches using WP-Cron, storing results in transients, and exposing them via shortcodes. It ships with a built-in fetcher for the Evangelizo liturgical daily feed as a reference implementation.
Features
- Extensible architecture: Register custom fetchers via the wpcronfetcherregister filter
- WP-Cron scheduling: Automatic periodic fetches with configurable schedules (hourly, daily, etc.)
- Transient caching: Fetched content is stored in WordPress transients with automatic expiration
- Shortcode support: Each fetcher can expose shortcodes to display cached content
- W3TC integration: Automatic page cache purge after successful fetches
- Fallback fetch: If a transient is missing when a shortcode is rendered, a fresh fetch is triggered automatically
- Logging: Full integration with WP Logger for debug and error tracking
- Dependency Isolation: All dependencies are scoped via wpify/scoper to prevent conflicts with other plugins
Requirements
- PHP ^8.1
- WordPress ^6.0
