Using Constants
Thanks to feedback from @nowakpiotrek, this plugin supports username and password constants defined in WordPress wp-config.php
. So instead of entering the username and password via the plugin settings, you can add the following definitions to the wp-config.php
file, just before the line that says, “That’s all, stop editing!” There you can add the following code:
define('WP_CRON_HTTP_AUTH_USERNAME', 'your-http-auth-username');
define('WP_CRON_HTTP_AUTH_PASSWORD', 'your-http-auth-password');
Change your-http-auth-username
and your-http-auth-password
to match your username and password, respectively. After saving changes, you can verify the new constants are working by visiting the plugin settings page. If the constants are working, the username and password options will be greyed out, with a message that says, “Username/Password set in wp-config.php”.
Uninstalling
This plugin cleans up after itself. All plugin settings will be removed from your database when the plugin is uninstalled via the Plugins screen.
Restore Default Options
To restore default options, uninstall the plugin via the WP Plugins screen, and then reinstall.
