# WPForms Lite errors with weekly_entries_count

 * Repeated errors are appearing in the WordPress error_log file on Sunday nights,
   e.g.:
 * Cron reschedule event error for hook: wpforms_weekly_entries_count_cron, Error
   code: could_not_set, Error message: The cron event list could not be saved., 
   Data: {“schedule”:”wpforms_weekly_entries_count”,”args”:[],”interval”:-3505}
 * This appears to occur with WPForms Lite 1.8.8 versions which introduced a new
   file 
   \wpforms-lite\src\Lite\Emails\Summaries.phpthat is not found in WPForms
   Lite 1.8.7.2.
 * At line 171 we find the instruction:
 * wp_schedule_event( $this->get_weekly_entries_count_interval(), ‘wpforms_weekly_entries_count’,‘
   wpforms_weekly_entries_count_cron’ );
 * Does the error arise from that instruction?
 * Please could a new release of WPForms Lite include an adjustment so that the 
   weekly entries count process will run without error and generate the weekly summary
   email?

 * Hey [@botibol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/botibol/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and sorry for the trouble there!
   Could you please 
   confirm if there are any other failed actions displayed when you go to** WPForms
   → Tools → Scheduled Actions**?
 * We have just released WPForms 1.8.9.1 today that addresses a couple of warning
   in PHP 8.0.
   When you have a chance, could you please update to this version and
   check if the errors are still reported?Thank you!

 * Hi Kenneth,
 * Thanks for picking this up.
 * On one website the last SA last failed action in Scheduled Actions was wpforms_admin_addons_cache_update
   on 2024-03-23 23:32:18 +0000, whereas the first wpforms_weekly_entries_count 
   error was 02-Jun-2024 23:00:19 UTC, following update of WPForms Lite. I think
   the failed actions are unrelated to the wpforms_weekly_entries_count error.
 * Looking at WPForms 1.8.9.1, the file of interest, \wpforms-lite\src\Lite\Emails\
   Summaries.php has a fresh date. but unchanged contents. So if the error was in
   the old version of that file, it is still in the new one. The changelog does 
   not assert any adjustment of wpforms_weekly_entries_count processing.
 * The problem manifests with PHP7 as well as PHP8.
 * I propose to try WPForms 1.8.9.1 as you ask.
 * Good weekend,
 * David

 * Hey [@botibol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/botibol/) 
   Thanks for sharing
   these findings! Since multiple scheduled tasks are affected, would you mind checking
   if wp_cron is running as expected on your server? I have just tested this on 
   a local instace but I’m unable to reproduce these warnings on my end.In my experience,
   any issues with wp_cron will affect the running of scheduled tasks.Please let
   me know how this goes! Thank you!

 * Hi Kenneth,
 * Investigating this issue further, I discovered that with WPForms Lite 1.8.8 versions
   the weekly email was being sent, but incorrectly showing zero totals.
 * Looking at the site where I updated to WPForms 1.8.9.1, the following scheduled
   actions subsequently completed:
   wpforms_process_forms_locator_scanwpforms_process_forms_locator_savewpforms_admin_notifications_updatewpforms_email_summaries_fetch_info_blocks
 * However wpforms_builder_help_cache_update action failed via Admin List Table:
   Scheduled action for wpforms_builder_help_cache_update will not be executed as
   no callbacks are registered.
 * There are no new entries in the error_log. The weekly email turned up on 17 June
   2024 at 17:44. The weekly email shows Entries This Week whereas for WPForms Lite
   whereas previous releases showed the total number of submissions for each form,
   as documented at [https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-use-email-summaries/](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-use-email-summaries/).
 * Thank you very much for your help with this.
 * Good wishes,

 * Hi Kenneth,
 * After updating to WPForms Lite 1.8.9.4 the fault returned. I have reverted to
   WPForms Lite 1.8.9.1. Did the correction in 1.8.9.1 get accidentally downdated?
   I see there are recent releases 1.8.9.5 and 1.8.9.6. From which release is the
   correction re-applied, please?
 * Thanks for keeping a watch on this plugin.

 * Hey [@botibol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/botibol/)
 * I’m sorry to hear that you are still experiencing the issue. We have not made
   any updates that should affect scheduled actions in the last two updates. 
   Did
   you get a chance to very if cron is working correctly on your site? There are
   various plugins available in the [WordPress repo](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/cron/)
   that you can use to check if scheduled jobs are running as expected.Thanks!

 * Hi Kenneth,
 * The fault occurs on two totally separate and different websites.
 * On both sites the wpforms Scheduled Actions tab shows scheduled tasks and many
   completed tasks but no recent failed tasks. I think these are WP-Cron rather 
   than Cron tasks. I don’t think we have non-WordPress cron jobs set up. Also, 
   on one of the sites I installed Cron Logger plugin which shows lots of wp-cron.
   php runs.
 * Can you tell me which files in the plugin zip relate to the process that would
   trigger these entries in the error log? It could be worth searching what changes
   in them occurred between 1.8.9.1 and 1.8.9.4. Unfortunately WPForms Lite 1.8.9.3
   appears to be missing from [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpforms-lite/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpforms-lite/advanced/),
   so I couldn’t check that one.
 * The Weekly WPForms Summary process having failed, is there a way to trigger it,
   rather than waiting till the following week?
 * Best wishes,
 * David

 * Hey [@botibol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/botibol/) 
   Thank you for getting
   back to me.This action is called from the following file: wpforms/src/Admin/Builder/
   HelpCache.php. You can manually trigger the email by going to WordPress > Tools
   > Scheduled Actions and click on Run below the action.I have alerted our team
   about this issue and they will be investigating further. I will shoot you an 
   update as soon as I hear back from them.I hope this helps!

 * Hi [@botibol](https://wordpress.org/support/users/botibol/),
 * Thanks for the information!
 * When you have a moment, could you please confirm whether the debug log error 
   related to the `wpforms_weekly_entries_count_cron` task has been resolved with
   the new version, or if it’s still occurring for you?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Ralden,
 * I updated another website to Version 1.9.1.3 on Oct 8, 2024, 5:01 PM BST. For
   this website there remains in place the following code snippet to disable the
   weekly summary processes.
 * add_filter( ‘wpforms_emails_summaries_is_disabled’, ‘__return_true’ );
   add_filter(‘
   wpforms_dash_widget_allow_entries_count_lite’, ‘__return_false’ );
 * So far the error log has not been added to by this plugin. However there are 
   weekly processes involved; so I shall look again over the next week or so.
 * Thanks for your help.
 * Best wishes,
 * David
