Multiple posts are published despite settings triggering only pending posts

  • The plugin started a few months ago to occasionally publish two posts per day despite the settings that trigger only one post, either a pending post and if there is no pending post then to recycle the oldest post. Today for example, the plugin published a pending post and the oldest post. Here is the debug:

    Hello,

    I see APS publishes a post at 02:43:14 and correctly sets the next cron event for the next day. However, your cron triggers APS again shortly thereafter at 02:43:30 instead.

    I’ve only see this when a caching plugin, like W3 or LiteSpeed, caches the object table, including the cron events, so scheduled events get messed up. That’s the only thing I can think of.

    Thanks John, so clearing the cache every day should solve this issue, correct?

    No, but if this is the issue, then turning off object caching would solve it.
