wp_unschedule_event() WP 1.0

Unschedule a previously scheduled event.

The $timestamp and $hook parameters are required so that the event can be identified.

Hooks in function

Return

true/false. True if event successfully unscheduled. False for failure.

Usage

wp_unschedule_event( $timestamp, $hook, $args );

$timestamp(int) (required)

Unix timestamp (UTC) of the event.

$hook(string) (required)

Action hook of the event.

$args(array)

Array containing each separate argument to pass to the hook's callback function. Although not passed to a callback, these arguments are used to uniquely identify the event, so they should be the same as those used when originally scheduling the event.
Default: array()

Code of wp unschedule event: wp-includes/cron.php ^{VER 5.1.1}

<?php
function wp_unschedule_event( $timestamp, $hook, $args = array() ) {
	// Make sure timestamp is a positive integer
	if ( ! is_numeric( $timestamp ) || $timestamp <= 0 ) {
		return false;
	}

	/**
	 * Filter to preflight or hijack unscheduling of events.
	 *
	 * Returning a non-null value will short-circuit the normal unscheduling
	 * process, causing the function to return the filtered value instead.
	 *
	 * For plugins replacing wp-cron, return true if the event was successfully
	 * unscheduled, false if not.
	 *
	 * @since 5.1.0
	 *
	 * @param null|bool $pre       Value to return instead. Default null to continue unscheduling the event.
	 * @param int       $timestamp Timestamp for when to run the event.
	 * @param string    $hook      Action hook, the execution of which will be unscheduled.
	 * @param array     $args      Arguments to pass to the hook's callback function.
