Missed Schedule in Wordpress
I dont know if is a bug or some problem with my server but this message is going with me on almost every installation of Wordpress and has to do with a silly function: wp_schedule_single_event($unix_time_stamp, ‘publish_future_post’, array($post_ID)).
The main problem with the function is that is not looking for “future” posts in database, maybe for saving those queries (just 1 query in this plugin), so the way this function works is very poor.
I hope this plugin solves many people with the same problem. I tested for almost a week and is working fine and publishing everything that needs to be published.
Ok, enough of the mumble jumbo, here is the plugin:
Just unzip in your “wp-content/plugins” folder, activate the plugin and that’s it.
{ 3 trackbacks }
{ 7 comments… read them below or add one }
Works fine, but it doesn’t clear the wp-cache to update front page with fresh post.
Hi – how do I unzip it in that folder. I downloaded the plug in but I don’t know how to get it to the plug in area so I can activate it. Right now, it’s somewhere on my computer??? Help?
@Mindle: I’ll look into that, however I have tested it in 2 blogs (here and here), both showed posts correctly after the installation of the plugin. Maybe has to do with any of your plugin(s)
@Joanne: You must unzip first (use Winzip), then move the extracted files into your wp-content/plugins folder
Looks like it takes 15 minutes or so after schedule is missed – is this correct?
@Dale: Yes, the script runs automatically every 15 minutes (if you have visitors).
If you prefer another value, you can customize this line in the missed-schedule.php file:
define(‘MISSEDSCHEDULED_DELAY’, 15);
Where 15 is the number in minutes
I have a site which I am migrating to Wordpress and I was hoping that this plugin would fix my missed schedule issue. I am running WP 2.9.1 and have scheduled over 40 posts, all of which have missed schedule. I am using your plugin and I modified the delay to 5 minutes and when that didn’t work I installed the ‘Scheduled MIA’s” plugin as well which esentially is supposed to do the same thing. Do you have any idea what I can do to get better reliability with scheduled posts?
Hi Tom, this plugin is working fine in 2.9.1, I only tested in 2 blogs but its working.
However, as far as I can tell Wordpress has fixed this issue in 2.9.1, so I recommend to do the following:
* Uninstall both plugins (this and Scheduled MIA) and see if the problem is solved
* If not, reinstall this or Scheduled MIA
* If is not working yet, then it must be an issue with some of your plugins, let me know what plugins you have installed for further support.
