I usually use the events manager in PHP MyAdmin to set up scheduled events but since migrating to WP Engine they do not allow it and I must write a function to use WP Cron instead. What should this look like written as a WP function?
I’m working on a custom search page and I usually use wpdb->prepare when crafting custom queries. But this time I went with get_posts to create the below query. But I’m wondering if I have to worry about SQL Injection with it. Should I? Or does get_posts() have that security built in?
I am new to WordPress and am learning the platform on the fly. We are in the process of converting a large non-WordPress site to the WordPress platform.

I based this code from the codex on the docs. I placed it in my main plugin file but it’s not creating the database table. Have I missed something?
Trying figure out how I can use some SQL/$wpdb->query to delete all the terms from a taxonomy that are related to specific post IDs.

I am receiving this warning when I try to run a database query:
