Xeroom Synch Cron Job

Q: Can you send me the cron line to call the function: xeroom_sync_schedule?

A: https://wpspeedmatters.com/external-cron-jobs-in-wordpress/ Gives can find a detailed way to setup and achieve a 3rd party cron job on WordPress. Here is a short resume:

first, disable define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
after that, go to the hosting dashboard cron job, create a new cron that executes every 1 or 2 minutes and add the URL wget -q -O - https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

The xeroom_sync_schedule is only available if something is in a queue to be synched with Xero. If not, the xeroom_sync_schedule cron will be removed. That's why you should implement the 3rd party cron jobs as above.
