Where do i need to place the code sample you posted, in wp_cron.php? Thanks Harper,

I've used the following snippet: add_filter('cron_schedules', array($this, 'add_five_minute_cron')); //I'm doing this inside a class //Add a 5 minute interval to the wp_cron options function add_five_minute_cron(){ return array('five_minute' => array('interval'=>300, 'display'=>'Every 5 minutes')); } While I won’t argue that wp-cron is highly advanced technology, it is possible to add your own cron intervals to the very limited selection. I’ve used the following snippet:

add_filter(‘cron_schedules’, array($this, ‘add_five_minute_cron’)); //I’m doing this inside a class

//Add a 5 minute interval to the wp_cron options
function add_five_minute_cron(){
return array(‘five_minute’ => array(‘interval’=>300, ‘display’=>’Every 5 minutes’));
}
