[Plugin: Content Scheduler] Does not work issues

  • Hello

    I installed the plugin at a fresh WP 3.4.2 instance w/o any other plugins and gave it a try. Seems there are issues and it doesn’t work as it should.

    1. I have set expiration frequency to 5 minutes and posts are supposed to go “private” after expiration and to be assigned to category “expired”. Does not work – once the expiration time is reached – nothing happens – posts stay published as they were. I tried to change the expiration frequency to different intervals, also “draft” instead of “private” – no matter – does not work.

    2. I’ve set options to notify admin/author upon expiration via email. Everytime I save settings, I receive email notifications over and over for posts that were supposed to expire (but they didn’t). Even I delete those posts permanently (from trash), notifications keep on coming each time I save plugin’s settings – no matter I change something in settings or not. I even deactivated and deleted the plugin and installed it one more time. It remembers deleted posts’ notifications anyway – each time I save options – emails keep on coming.

    3. I also noticed that if I didn’t use the email notification initially, and then turned it on, it also applied to previous posts that never used it. And notifications come once options saved…

    Is there any way to fix it?

    ok found it setting false to true at define('WP_DEBUG', false);

    Go to the root directory (where wordpress is installed). Find the wp-config.php file.

    There should be a setting like: define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
    Change it to: define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

    Also, add this line : define(‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false); Keeps warnings and errors off your screen.

    Ok I did so, I also manually uninstalled the plugin and manually deleted any its data at db. Then reinstalled and set up a post to expire with 6min expiration frequency.

    Cron events schedule says:

    Oct 6, 2012 @ 5:42	 Twice Daily	wp_version_check
Oct 6, 2012 @ 5:42	 Twice Daily	wp_update_plugins

    MYSTERY UNVEILED!

    I found the reason the plugin could not run its cron.

    I used to use a .htaccess file to restrict accessibility to /plugins content. The restriction was too strong and it seems the cron could not check values saved or something.

    So guys another hint what to do if your cron fails ??
