Just to give a little feedback; enabled Jetpack’s Monitoring feature did not solve the problem; some but not all scheduled posts still fail.

I had my web host set up a real crontab job to run the wp-cron every 10 minutes; that also did not solve the problem. The method used was as follows:

If anyone comes up with something else to try would love to know!
Thanks!

Yes it does – thanks!

The only site I am having this issue with just had a soft launch and there are only a few users; there are visits throughout the day but perhaps not very many, so it sounds like Monitor may help!

Still, I’m having a little trouble understanding one aspect of this. It doesn’t seem WP fails to post a scheduled post if someone visits the site a minute or two after the scheduled posting time; otherwise if it required the visits to almost perfectly coincide with post schedules in order for them to run, this would be a widespread problem.

There must be a set interval between scheduled time of post and latest run of the WP-Cron that determines what is and isn’t missed. It would seem like any future run of the cron would attempt to post all past missed scheduled posts? Why can’t it do that?

thx!

Jeremy – you said “I’m afraid Jetpack might not help you solve this issue”, but then recommended JEtpack Notifications? ??

So does Jetpack Notifications bot visit trigger the cron just like a page request? It’s not just a simple ping?

Thanks,
