💻 Code used during the webinar Demo 💻

1. Get a list of WP cron events in WP CLI (pre-installed on SiteGround) :

wp cron event list

2. Run events which are due right now:

wp cron event run --due-now

3. Run all events:

wp cron event run --all

4. The following will change your blog's tagline to "Happy Thursday" (or whatever day you choose):

wp option update blogdescription "Happy $(date +'%A')"

5. Get and post a new quote every day:
⚠️ Note: Since YouTube does not allow angled brackets, in order for this example to work, replace each of the three * signs with a closing angled bracket:

curl -s -X GET "https://quotes.rest/qod?language=en" -H "accept: application/json" | php -r 'echo json_decode(file_get_contents("php://STDIN"))-*contents-*quotes[0]-*quote;' | wp option update blogdescription
