How it works?
For example there is the form called “Test”. Once user send a submission, then it appears as entry in “Test” form entries screen in the dashboard.
When there are a lot of entries, you may want to export the entries into .CSV file and do it automatially on a schedule. This is very easy to do using our Plugin. Just go to the Form Setting page and click on “Schedule Export Entries” tab.
You will see “Schedule Export Entries Feeds” page for the form. Just click on a “Add New” button and create a new task to export the entries automatically. Also you can see the “Current time” value on this page. It should help you to create task, because website current time and your local time on computer can be different. The plugin works with website time.
Please look at screenshots below there is an example of the new task Setting page.
Please note you need save your task. After that you are done and your task will be executed on a schedule.

Linux Cron Job vs. WP-Cron
Have you ever noticed that your scheduled posts in WordPress are missing? Though WordPress has its own cron feature that dictates the scheduling of your blog’s posts and events, WP-cron is not a literal cron job.
Linux cron jobs can be controlled by the user, making certain that the items constrained by schedule are run appropriately. Also, for a high-traffic WordPress site, a Linux cron job can assist with reducing the chances of downtime by lowering the bandwidth on the server, thus using less server resources.
WP-cron is a virtual cron that only works when the page is loaded. WP-cron is first loaded by WordPress when a page is requested on the front or backend of a site at which point WP-cron displays the necessary page to the site visitor.
How to Replace WP-Cron With a Linux Cron Job
The best way to optimize the efficiency of your WordPress cron jobs is to disable WP-cron and set up a normal cron job through cPanel which will run every hour.
- Disable wp-cron.php
You can disable WP-cron by modifying the wp-config.php (located in the folder where WordPress is installed). Open the wp-config.php file, add a new line after <?php, then add the following code on the new line:
define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); - Disable wp-cron.php
- To set up a Linux cron job:
- Log into your cPanel.
- In the Advanced section, click Cron jobs.
- Under Add New Cron Job, select the time interval. We recommends that you do not set the interval lower than 15 minutes.
- Set the cron command to the following, replacing yourwebsite.com with your actual domain name:
wget -q -O - http://yourwebsite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1 - Click Add New Cron Job to set the cron.
In order to test out the new cron, simply wait for the elapsed time period for the cron to run. In the event that the cron does not run, please review the steps listed above to ensure that you have completed all steps correctly.
