Cannot remove a Wordpress cron job from an empty app on Google App Engine


We installed Wordpress on GAE to test the performance and decided to remove it after all. It was linked to a Bitbucket install and an empty version was deployed to remove Wordpress. However, even if the latest build being pushed has zero files (other than index.php & app.yaml), a wp-cron.php file runs every 15min.

I also cannot turn off GAE as a service because our Firebase apps rely on it for some reason. Any idea?


Solution

  • You have to edit the cron.yaml file so that it only contains cron: and redeploy it (source)
