Advanced Queue Setup In CLI mode

This guide details the setup of an advanced queue in CLI mode for the Mailchimp WooCommerce plugin, enhancing performance by running processes in the background, independent of web traffic.

Prerequisites

• WP-CLI installed.
• Knowledge of WP-CLI and WordPress installation locations on your server.
• Ability to edit the functions.php file, preferably using a child theme or suitable plugin.

Disabling the Default Queue Runner

1. Edit functions.php File: Include the following code:

   function asdds_disable_default_runner() {
       if ( class_exists( 'ActionScheduler' ) ) {
           remove_action( 'action_scheduler_run_queue', array( ActionScheduler::runner(), 'run' ) );
       }
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'asdds_disable_default_runner', 10 );

Running the Queue Process

Manual

Run the queue manually using WP-CLI:

wp --url=https://examplestore.com --path=/full/path/to/install/ action-scheduler run

Stop with control + c.
