README

A WP-CLI package that runs WordPress cron tasks concurrently instead of sequentially.

By default, wp cron event run --all processes each task one at a time. This package spawns parallel subprocesses so multiple cron hooks execute simultaneously, with a live progress display showing each task's status and output.

Installation

wp package install dd32/wpcli-cron-concurrent

Usage

# Run all pending cron tasks concurrently (default: 5 at a time)
wp cron-concurrent run

# Run only hooks matching a substring
wp cron-concurrent run --filter=woocommerce

# Limit to 3 concurrent tasks
wp cron-concurrent run --concurrent=3

Options

Option	Description	Default
--filter=<string>	Only run hooks whose name contains this string	(all hooks)
--concurrent=<n>	Maximum number of tasks to run at the same time	5

Development

Requires Node.js (for wp-env) and Docker.

npm install
npm run env:start
npm test
npm run env:stop
