Title: wp-cron syntax Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # wp-cron syntax * Resolved [LordGoran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lordgoran/) * (@lordgoran) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/) * I having some issues with the syntax for adding a hook to wp-cron. * Here’s what I have: * ``` register_activation_hook( __FILE__, array($this, 'run_on_activate') ); function run_on_activate() { // for notifications if( !wp_next_scheduled( 'send_abandon_cart_email_hook' ) ) { wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'send_abandon_cart_email_hook' ); } } add_action( 'send_abandon_cart_email_hook', 'send_abandon_cart_email' ); function send_abandon_cart_email() { wp_remote_get('/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-abandon-cart/cron/send_email.php'); } ``` * For some reason I get an error. Can you lend a hand on the correct syntax? * Thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [mansishah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansishah/) * (@mansishah) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769567) * Hi, * Can you please tell us about the syntax error? * Can you please try with the following command for function send_abandon_cart_email() and let us know about the working: function send_abandon_cart_email() { require_once(‘ /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-abandon-cart/cron/send_email.php’);} * Regards, Mansi Shah * Thread Starter [LordGoran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lordgoran/) * (@lordgoran) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769612) * Okay, I did some digging into your plugin. After looking at your code I found the underlying problem. My site is built on the Word Press Multi-site. The database structure for pulling the user data is not the same as the stand along Word Press software. * The error I was getting was Word Press’s way to say that it had a database error. * Unless you have a version of your plugin that works for the WP Multisite, I guess I’m out of luck. * Thanks! * [mansishah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansishah/) * (@mansishah) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769678) * Hi, * We are trying to replicate the issue you have mentioned. Can you send a screenshot of what you are seeing? * We will get back to you tomorrow. * Regards, Mansi shah * Thread Starter [LordGoran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lordgoran/) * (@lordgoran) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769679) * In the Word Press Multi site database the table `users` does not exist. Instead the database is set up as follows: `wp_users` is the table for the entire multi site. `wp_1_` would then be the prefix to the first word press website inside of the Multisite. * So if your script is looking for `wp_1_users` it will never find `wp_users`. * I’m testing an edit I did to your code. In the get_carts function I edited the code to look for a hard coded table name for `wp_users` and not the $wpdb->prefix.” users. * I’ll update if it works. * Steve * Thread Starter [LordGoran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lordgoran/) * (@lordgoran) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769682) * By editing your code I got the email script to work. * It took editing the table name for `Users` you have in your get_cats function to match the database structure I have set-up in my Word Press Multisite. * So if anyone else has the same issue I did, at line 134 of your send_mail.php change `".$wpdb->prefix."users` to the structure of your database. Like `wp_users` for example. * Steve * [mansishah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansishah/) * (@mansishah) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769695) * Hi, * Can you please tell us that which version for Abandoned cart lite plugin are you using at multisite? * As we have tried to replicate the issue on our staging multisite and it is working fine for us. * Regards, Mansi Shah * Thread Starter [LordGoran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lordgoran/) * (@lordgoran) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769701) * It’s version 1.2 The WP MU install is 3.6. * Like I said, in our Multisite install all users for all sites are in a single table. I was not the person that set this up. I’m coming in second hand, and it’s been updated a few times. So I’m guessing that the base install is very old and could be from when the Multisite was first available. * Steve * [mansishah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansishah/) * (@mansishah) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769745) * Hi, * I am glad to know that you can able to resolve the issue. * Thank you for sharing the solution with us. * Please let us know if any further queries. * Regards, Mansi Shah Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘wp-cron syntax’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2369396) * [Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-abandoned-cart/reviews/) * 8 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [mansishah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansishah/) * Last activity: [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-cron-syntax/#post-5769745) * Status: resolved
