@frantorres @davidperezgar this one follows up #73, which asked where this content should live and did not get a response. I have gone with a new subpage since that matches the rest of the Cron chapter. It is one new file plus a single manifest entry, no existing page is touched. Happy to restructure if you would prefer it split differently. |

Summary
Adds a new page to the Cron chapter covering WP-Cron's practical limitations and how to work around them.
Fixes #73.
Background
I opened #73 in May listing gaps in the Cron chapter and asked whether the content should go on the overview page, on a new subpage, or be spread across existing pages. The issue did not get a response, so I have gone with the new subpage since that matches how the rest of the chapter is organised. Happy to restructure if the team prefers another shape.
Changes
