# crontab – PHP Fatal error

 * Plugin version 3.0.10.
 * I disabled the WordPress default wp-cron behaviour in wp-config.php:
    define(‘
   DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true);
 * I have the following crontab setup (running every 30 min):
    */30 * * * * cd /
   var/www/bethhagaphen.info/htdocs; php /var/www/bethhagaphen.info/htdocs/wp-cron.
   php
 * Everyday at 18u30 I get the following error mailed to me:
    PHP Fatal error: Call
   to undefined function SimpleCalendar\simcal_delete_feed_transients() in /var/
   www/bethhagaphen.info/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/google-calendar-events/includes/
   post-types.php on line 316
 * Can you take a look at it?

 * Does it work correctly if you have the wp-cron on?

 * It is triggered upon deletion of a calendar.
 * I think it has something to do with wordpress trying to empty the trash (files
   in the trash are automatically deleted after 30 days by wp).
 * I had some calendars in the trash. I emptied the trash.
 * I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if this solved the problem.
    I’ll keep
   you informed.

 * It didn’t solve the problem.
 * About your question if it works correctly when I have the wp-cron on: I think
   it worked ok but I want to have it off and work with crontab who calls wp-cron.
   I don’t see the difference.
 * I can’t understand what exactly is causing the problem. Everyday at 18u30 I get
   a mail while the crontab job runs every 30 min.
 * I also don’t understand what is triggering simcal_delete_feed_transients() at
   post-types.php on line 316?

 * Is the 18:30 time matching up when your calendar cache is clearing?

 * That’s the function that is called when your calendar cache is cleared. It removes
   all the old transients to replace with the new one.

 * Sorry for my late reaction but it has been a busy week and I didn’t have time
   to reply. The problem is not solved yet, for all my calendar the cache clearing
   interval is 4 hours.

 * I’m not really sure. Since it is working with the other plugin disabled then 
   I would have to assume it is conflicting somehow.
