Examples

/**
 * Example function to conditionally disable cron processing for Elementor post creation.
 *
 * This filter allows you to override the default behavior and decide whether
 * to use cron for processing automations when a post is published using Elementor.
 * For example, you might want to disable cron for very simple posts or during
 * specific maintenance periods.
 *
 * @param bool   $cron_enabled Whether cron processing is enabled (default is true).
 * @param int    $post_id      The ID of the post that was just published.
 * @param object $post         The WP_Post object for the published post.
 * @param bool   $update       Whether this is an update to an existing post.
 * @param object $this         The instance of the elem-post-published class.
 *
 * @return bool The new value for $cron_enabled.

	// public post publications, not draft saves.
