schedule lagging / triggering later

    Hi and thanks for this helpful plugin.

    On my website there is text that should show only at a certain time. Also, this text is different for each day.
    Sometimes the text from the previous day would still show instead of the current day’s text. E.g., if today is Friday, it would still show the Thursday text instead of the Friday text.

    But a mere case of lagging is out of the question since there is a time gap of several hours between the Thursday text and the Friday text, when no text should show. Additionally, my WP backend shows the correct time for my locale.
    As far as I can tell, the issue seems to be tied to the number of web page calls. But then again sometimes the issue would not surface at all.

    If you are confident in the timezone settings, then it sounds like it must be down to caching. When you load the pages, can you eliminate caching as a source of the issue?

    The timezone settings can be ruled out, yes.
    I thought of caching before, but with both browser-caching and my WP-caching plugin disabled the issue still persists. It could come down to server-side caching, but my localhost playground server also has this issue, albeit not as frequently.

    I manually recreated the section in question (with JS). I am curious about wether the issue will surface even without this plugin.

    I will provide feedback here once I have some results.

    I forgot to mention that my “playground server” (which is on localhost) does not use any caching.

    You haven’t mentioned browser caching. Are you eliminating the browser cache as a potential source of the delay?

    Yes:
    I tried clearing the cache with the built-in tools in Chrome and Safari.
    I tried incognito / private mode in Chrome and Safari.
    I tried different browsers (duh).

    After testing my manual js code for a while, I can say it works 100% reliable since I stopped using this plugin. No lagging or weirdness.
