Generation Methods

Last updated: February 12, 2026

You can control how and when CSV files are regenerated in Settings > Generation method.

1. WP-Cron (Default)

Uses the built-in WordPress cron system. This relies on site traffic to trigger events. It is the easiest to set up but may be unreliable on low-traffic sites.

2. Own Scheduler

Uses an internal scheduler logic built into the plugin. This creates a more robust scheduling queue that attempts to run independently of standard WP-Cron triggers, helpful if your WP-Cron is disabled or unreliable.

3. External Calls

Disables internal automatic triggers. You must trigger generation externally via a system cron job (crontab) or an external monitoring service. This is ideal for high-traffic sites or sites with aggressive caching, as it decouples export generation from page loads.
