wordpress scheduled publish not working

  • Hello,

    I’m using WordPress 5.1 and even though I scheduled for post to be published, nothing happened(

    I checked my access.log and I do see wp-cron.php there at the time: 

    X.X.X.X - - [07/Mar/2019:10:03:58 +0000] "POST /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1551953038.0472440719604492187500 HTTP/1.1" 200 3339 "https://X/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1551953038.0472440719604492187500" "WordPress/5.1; https://X"
X.X.X.X - - [07/Mar/2019:15:00:08 +0000] "POST /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1551970808.0490350723266601562500 HTTP/1.1" 200 3339 "https://X/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1551970808.0490350723266601562500" "WordPress/5.1; https://X"

    Please advise.

    The Schedule posts are published through the WordPress Cron. Please install the Health Check plugin, run it, and pay particular attention to what it says about WP-Cron

    @t-p per your recommendation, I went ahead and install health-check plugin yet, I don’t really see anything in regards to wp-cron though.

    look in “Debug Information” tab.

    In that tab, see what the result say in “Create loopback requests”

    Edit:

    Or look in “Site Status” tab.

    I was struggling with this for a week. Now found a solution here –
    https://updraftplus.com/faqs/my-scheduled-backups-do-nothing-backup-now-stops-midway/

    I used this option –
    4. Loopback connections are not working?

    Some web hosting providers (one big one: Heart Internet) purposefully (though for no good reason) disable the “loop-back” connects that allows WordPress to run its scheduler. This is also the case if your website is password-protected. If loopback connections are not working (whether deliberately disabled or not), you can try this use WordPress’s alternative scheduling system – instructions here. The instructions amount to one thing: add a line anywhere in the middle of your wp-config.php file as follows (don’t add it too late in the file, or it will take no effect):

    define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);

    Hope this helps.
