每隔X小时自动在服务器上加载Wordpress页面

Question

I have a page in my Wordpress site that calculates post popularity and updates several meta fields on the posts and calls a few functions as well. This page is set to "Private" so that only myself and other admins can see it. Is there a way to load this page automatically every 6, 12, or 24 hours?

I'd be satisfied with a plugin, but generally prefer to write my own PHP code.

Answer 1

Create a cron job or use WordPress directly with wp_schedule_event(). The latter would probably allow you to remove the placeholder page.
