      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have created this Cron Job for my website with postype TVShows,Seasons,Episodes and It correctly get season, then generate it and its been publish but when the time call of its exisiting seasons episodes come it does not generate and publish? Can you any bestie help me out to fix this issue?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;`// Step 1: Register a custom one-minute interval for testing&lt;br&gt;
add_filter('cron_schedules', 'custom_one_minute_cron_schedule');&lt;br&gt;
function custom_one_minute_cron_schedule($schedules) {&lt;br&gt;
    $schedules['every_minute'] = array(&lt;br&gt;
        'interval' =&amp;gt; 60, // 60 seconds&lt;br&gt;
        'display'  =&amp;gt; __('Every Minute')&lt;br&gt;
    );&lt;br&gt;
    return $schedules;&lt;br&gt;
}&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;// Step 2: Schedule the Cron Job to Run Every Minute (For testing purposes)&lt;br&gt;
if (!wp_next_scheduled('auto_generate_new_seasons')) {&lt;br&gt;
    wp_schedule_event(time(), 'every_minute', 'auto_generate_new_seasons');&lt;br&gt;
}&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;// Step 3: Define the Callback Function to Generate New Seasons and Episodes&lt;br&gt;
add_action('auto_generate_new_seasons', 'generate_new_seasons');&lt;br&gt;
function generate_new_seasons() {&lt;br&gt;
    global $wpdb;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
