• I configured the plugin to publish two posts a day, which are in “pending” status, at specific times. Unfortunately this is not what happens, it simply ignores the configuration and publishes all posts with “pending” status at the same time.

    Hello, I think I’ve found the issue. Please try updating to v1.83

    Thats Great

    Thank you very much for your feedback, I updated the plugin and it seems to me that it followed the daily quantity rule, which in my case is 3, but did not follow the randomization of schedules, publishing all 3 at the same time.

    I’m not aware of any randomization of schedules feature. What is that?

    Thread Starter Dirto Grigio

    (@dirtogrigio)

    Using “limit check” option with “time range” does not cause the posts to be published between the configured times?

    No, that limits checks to those hours on those days.

    Can WP Auto Poster(Premium) do this?

    Plugin Author johnh10

    (@johnh10)

    You can try setting this up with APS.

    If you want to randomly publish 3 posts randomly throughout the day, I would recommend something like:

    Auto Post Schedule: 4-8 hours

    Eligible Post Statuses: pending

    Number of Posts: 1

    Max Posts per day: 3

    This tells cron to activate APS every 4 to 8 hours, query 1 pending post and publish it, with a max of 3 posts published each day. Hope that helps.
