Wordpress cronjob every 3 minutes

Question

there are many post on stackoverflow with this topic but (i dont know why) nothing will work for me.

What i have

function isa_add_every_three_minutes( $schedules ) {      $schedules['every_three_minutes'] = array(             'interval'  => 180,             'display'   => __( 'Every 3 Minutes', 'textdomain' )     );      return $schedules; } add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'isa_add_every_three_minutes' );   function every_three_minutes_event_func()  {     // do something }  wp_schedule_event( time(), 'every_three_minutes', 'every_three_minutes_event_func' ); 

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

You need to use add_action() to hook your function to the scheduled event.

add_action( 'isa_add_every_three_minutes', 'every_three_minutes_event_func' ); 

Here is the full code.

// Add a new interval of 180 seconds // See http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/cron_schedules add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'isa_add_every_three_minutes' ); function isa_add_every_three_minutes( $schedules ) {     $schedules['every_three_minutes'] = array(             'interval'  => 180,             'display'   => __( 'Every 3 Minutes', 'textdomain' )     );     return $schedules; }  // Schedule an action if it's not already scheduled if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'isa_add_every_three_minutes' ) ) {     wp_schedule_event( time(), 'every_three_minutes', 'isa_add_every_three_minutes' ); }  // Hook into that action that'll fire every three minutes add_action( 'isa_add_every_three_minutes', 'every_three_minutes_event_func' ); function every_three_minutes_event_func() {     // do something } ?>
