 * I just installed the plugin. Every cron that has been set up seems to have shown
   up nicely. Nice to see then details on when will run next too. However, a key
   reason I want this plugin is the Add PHP Cron Event support. For some reason,
   this is missing. On my Events page there is just an Add Cron Event tab, but no
   PHP Cron Event tab like in the screen shot.
    Thoughts?
 * Maybe there’s another way to do this. A key cron i am trying to set up is in 
   this http form provided by my plugin supplier.Is there a way to set this up to
   run in Wp Control? My hosting provider does not provide Cpanel, instead triggers
   wp-cron on a regular basis. So I’m trying to get this http cron in to the regular
   cycle.

 * The ability to add a PHP cron event maps to the ability to edit files (for security
   reasons, you don’t want a user to be able to execute arbitrary PHP via a cron
   event if they don’t have the ability to edit files).
 * If the `DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT` or `DISALLOW_FILE_MODS` constants are set to true
   in your `wp-config.php` file then you won’t be able to edit files. Or, on a Multisite
   installation of WordPress, if your user account is not a Super Admin then you
   won’t be able to edit files.
 * In the next version of WP Crontrol I’ll improve the UI to make it clearer why
   you cannot add PHP cron events.
