Sorry to hear that, MrBrian!
I added the date and time picker because it addresses problems with selecting the correct date and time when your timezone is not GMT, but I agree it makes it a bit more difficult to immediately select the current time in order to run a cron event immediately.
I’ll have a think about how I can improve this.
John (@johnbillion) – has NOW been added back in yet? We too are interested in this. I did check the changelog on GitHub, but could not find a reference.
Many updates later and we still have to enter the date and time fully in order to run a cron?? It’s a huge burden having to manually enter in the date and time numbers when you could simply allow the cron to run instantly if it’s left blank. I’ll check back in a week, but in a few days i’m leaving an honest review.
I am using alternative Advanced Cron Manager plugin currently – it’s more intuitive and has more features, but it doesn’t support PHP code events. If they add this, your plugin will be inferior.

I’m sorry for the huge burden that I’ve placed on you. Feel free to use another plugin.
Sarcasm.. an excellent response to user feedback and my heads up before making a review.
I will continue to use v1.3.1 of your plugin. I want to use your latest version with code highlighting, but entering in date and time so that the event will run instantly is absolutely a burden, and has to be done every time. You don’t have a jquery date/time picker for quicker entry, or even prefill the numbers with current server date/time.. but it would be great if you just let us run the cron event without setting a date/time.
Don’t get me wrong with my post, I appreciate your work, but if you don’t care about something so easily fixed then the plugin deserves a lower rating.
