wp_clear_scheduled_hook() WordPress Function
The wp_clear_scheduled_hook() function is used to remove a previously scheduled event from the WordPress event schedule.
wp_clear_scheduled_hook( string $hook, array $args = array(), bool $wp_error = false ) #
Unschedules all events attached to the hook with the specified arguments.
Description
Warning: This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE. For information about casting to booleans see the PHP documentation. Use the ===
operator for testing the return value of this function.
Parameters
- $hook
(string)(Required)Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
- $args
(array)(Optional) Array containing each separate argument to pass to the hook's callback function. Although not passed to a callback, these arguments are used to uniquely identify the event, so they should be the same as those used when originally scheduling the event.
Default value: array()
- $wp_error
(bool)(Optional) Whether to return a WP_Error on failure.
Default value: false
Return
(int|false|WP_Error) On success an integer indicating number of events unscheduled (0 indicates no events were registered with the hook and arguments combination), false or WP_Error if unscheduling one or more events fail.
More Information
If you created a scheduled job using a hook and arguments, you cannot delete it by supplying only the hook. Similarly, if you created a set of scheduled jobs that share a hook but have different arguments, you cannot delete them using only the hook name, you have to delete them all individually using the hook name and arguments.
