Missed Schedule

This fix worked for me.
https://wpengineer.com/ping-problem/

I also got rid of the WP-Cache plugin and added the WP-Supercache plugin.

My host provided patched cron files for 2.71 which got around the cron problems – currently not working for 2.8 but have posted a tcket asking that someone with more knowledge than me takes a look at incorporating the files.

2.8.1, windows hosting. Instead of scheduling future posts get published immediately.

It’s most simple & stupid WP bug I have ever seen.

If you are hosted on Media Temple (dv) or using Plesk, I’ve written a blog post describing the problem and how to fix it. Check it out.

2.8.2, IIS, nothing changed.

How exactly is it acceptable that WP hasn’t addressed this? Jesus.

Beside that cron is no longer working properly, I assume it’s causing WP load slow, especially first page load.

Any possible solutions guys, beside those posted.

Hi,
I’ve have a external program which dumps value into “wp_post” and “wp_term_relationships” table with
“wp_post”.”post_status” field as “future”
“wp_post”.”post_date and” “wp_post”.”post_date_gmt” with a scheduled date.

Scheduler is working fine when i do new post using admin panel, but does work when i do from external program? It get missed. but when i edit and update the post with it works.

Any one tried creating post from external program? do i need to store post value to any where else other that “wp_post” table?

This is absolutely shocking! From what I understand, this got “broken” with WP 2.7. We’re now on WP 2.8.4(!) and this documented bug remains unresolved.

I’m planning to install the plugin below from 5ubliminal to see if that resolves it.

Apart from that, backrevving or editing your cron stuff (which I’m not comfortable doing) appears to be the only way out until Automattic gets their act together and starts listening to users.

I have solved to the problem of missed scheduled:

– First I recognized that wordpress 2,8 is much more slow, is a fact.
– Then I stopped looking for an error of programming. I started to find an excessive delay.
– Then, reading, I discovered that schedule post was not a problem of WordPress 2,8 it is a symptom of a slow system.
– Finally I found it the solution here: https://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-trac/2009-January/038071.html and consists of modifying the timeout in wp-includes/cron.php.
Approximately in the line number 205 I changed
wp_remote_post ($cron_url, Array (‘ timeout’ => 0.01, ‘ blocking’ => false));

To 20 seconds:

wp_remote_post ($cron_url, Array (‘ timeout’ => 20, ‘ blocking’ => false));

Lamentably I have not get to scheduled post work nex to Hyper Cache (they only works together in WP 2,6) reason why you must to disconnect that plugin to see working scheduled post.
It’s work for me. I hope help you.

If you are planning to make use of the Scheduled MIAs (Missing In Action) WordPress Plugin I referred to in my previous reply, please read this blog post first, especially if (like me) you’ve no idea what to do with this piece of raw PHP code!

WordPress: Missed Schedule for Scheduled Posts – A Plugin Fix | (Anti) Social Development

I am running WordPress 2.7 (we need an upgrade) on IIS 7, we host ourselves. We had the scheduling problem and I found a solution that worked.

https://www.kimwoodbridge.com/scheduled-posts-in-wordpress-dont-work-a-possible-solution-for-iis/

Now the bit to change was slightly different (must be the different WP versions), but it still worked.

Around line 180 of /wp-includes/cron.php is the following
$cron_url = get_option( ‘siteurl’ ) . ‘/wp-cron.php?check=’ . wp_hash(‘187425’);

we change to:

$cron_url = ‘https://127.0.0.1/wp-cron.php?check=’ . wp_hash(‘187425’);

and scheduled posts now work.

I hope this helps someone else

Just to report back to the forum that 5ubliminal’s Scheduled MIAs (Missing in Action) WordPress Plugin did absolutely nothing (at least with my combination of WP 2.8.4, Thesis 1.5.1 and about 18 or so plugins). I guess it’s a case of “your mileage may vary”.

The search for a solution goes on. I’ll try back revving the cron files next. That seems to have been the most successful suggestion thus far.

bradt‘s blog post on how to fix the problem if you’re hosted on Media Temple’s (dv) server or using Plesk did the trick for me (this post contains the same solution, but explains it in a non-Media Temple specific way).

If you don’t know how to SSH into your MT (dv) box or how to use vi, my blog post might help.
