Timer to automatically open/close polls does not work

Probably check if the cron is running via using a plugin like WP-Crontrol.

You probably can do a error_log() debugging in cron_polls_status() as well https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-polls/blob/master/wp-polls.php#L1243-L1253

Hey Lester,

Thanx for the Update. The cron was 2 Times per day every 12 hours. That can’t work proberly Oo.

I’ll start debugging the expired polls tomorrow.

Thanks! Keep me updated!

Cron was set back to every 12 hours. This is not the best way, to open/close polls automatically. Maybe you will rewrite your plugin not to check the open or close poll date in the database, rather make for each open / close date an own cron entry like wordpress does for each planned post in the future?

Furthermore it is maybe a good idea, to let the user decide, how often the cron checks (hourly, twicedaily, and so on).

Debug is on for tomorrow, when the poll closes.

I thought of that but that will increase 1 database query per page load. I rather do it on the cron way, maybe make the cron shorter like an hourly instead of twice daily.

You are probably the first guy in a decade (literally 10 years) that needs more than twice daily. lol
