Schedule Posts Not Working in 2.5

  • I upgraded to 2.5 – everything went well, except for two of my most favorite plug-ins crapping out (Image Manager and PodPress). however, I noticed this morning that the publish date and time is not working correctly.

    When I click the edit button and change the time, then click save or publish, the post gets published at the current date and time and not in the future.

    I have disabled all plug-ins and it still does not work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as being able to properly schedule a post is vital for my website.

  • Hi – I’m glad it worked for you.

    You use Yahoo! for hosting? Someone else I knew was using Yahoo! and had the same problem but told me my fix didn’t work. Perhaps it wasn’t done correctly. At any rate I’m glad this fix works for some people.

    Yes, I have a Yahoo! Small Biz hosting. And it works perfectly => my newsletter plugin now works well (I have been sending 10 emails per hour to my subscribers list since yesterday.

    And posts scheduling now works perfectly.

    Simply GREAT!
    thx

    It’s not working of me even after updating to 2.7.
    I’m also using Yahoo Small business as my hosting.

    $cron_url = get_option( ‘siteurl’ ) . ‘/wp-cron.php’;
    $parts = parse_url( $cron_url );

    I don’t see these lines in my wp-cron.php file…

    There’s an “Idea” section within www.remarpro.com where I added the idea of bringing back schedule post.

    This beneficial setting has been missing for a long time, and by the number of posts in this thread, many of us would appreciate its return.

    If it’s not on the menu for version 2.8, the “Publish Status” section to the right of the “Write Post” page can be eliminated.

    I have the same problem with wordpress 2.7
    How I can fix it ?

    For those of you having trouble with this, it could very well be security settings at your hosting company. HostGator, for instance, just upgraded their servers; in the process of upgrading Apache, they also installed mod_security. While this can be a good thing, it broke a lot of things on my blogs, including scheduled posting and also the ‘Press This’ function.

    Thankfully, HostGator was fully supportive and put my domains on a ‘whitelist’ to bypass some of the security settings. Voila, everything now works.

    Don’t be too fast to criticize WordPress – while a few things sometimes don’t work as planned, in this age of heightened server security there are a few script functions that get caught in the lurch.

    P.S. For those of you on Yahoo Business Hosting, MOVE. Yahoo is one of the least friendly hosting providers I’ve ever seen.

    There are hundreds of threads on the forum with people having issues with Scheduled posts not working after 2.5 and above. Unfortunately if your host is not willing to modify their firewall just for you (which most will not) then you have 2 choices, go back to an earlier version of wordpress, or wait… It sucks I know but it’s as simple as that; and as far as I’ve seen there has been nothing posted that will rectify the problem.

    I’ve achieved success with this long-term problem.

    I upgraded my SoloBusinessMarketing.com blog to version 2.7 through the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin, wrote an article, set it to publish the next morning, and it worked.

    I don’t know if it was my host or the plugin; I’m just pleased to announce this in hopes that others will also find a solution.

    cipote – the cron.php file is different in 2.7. Recently, I used one from an earlier version of WordPress, made the edits, and used that file instead for someone having the problem after upgrading. She can now schedule posts again. I have not determined, however, if using an older version of cron.php will cause other problems.
