@mickmel trick worked for me… Thank you so much!

I noticed that before, and never found a solution. The most weird thing is that I run three WP 2.7 on the same domain name (www.mydomain.com, and two subdomains) and only have had the problem on one of them.

WP guyz, please fix it? =)

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

I used Kim’s soution (https://www.kimwoodbridge.com/scheduled-posts-in-wordpress-dont-work-a-possible-solution-for-iis/) + set my blog’s time at UTC and it works !!!!

Check the link or do what she suggests:
In your WordPress directory, edit /includes/cron.php. At line 84 and 85 replace

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

with

$cron_url = ‘https://127.0.0.1/wp-cron.php’;
$parts = parse_url( $cron_url );

Thank you Kim!!!

The problem is definitely a matter of IP (I think my host: Yahoo! does not have a fix IP for the websites => when I ping https://www.transport-expertise.org, I always get a different IP address…)

I just upgraded to 2.6.5, and this does not fix the problem…
Change CHMOD to 644, and this does not fix the problem…
I contacted Yahoo!, and the average response time is 24 hours…

See you tomorrow!

For development purpose, I rewrite my host servers characteristics:
I run three WP on my site. Version is 2.6.3 > PHP Version 4.3.11
System FreeBSD hostingprod.com 4.11-YAHOO-20080312 FreeBSD 4.11-YAHOO-20080312 #0: i386
Host: Yahoo! Smallbusiness / domain name transport-expertise.org

I would love to understand exactly how the “cron fix script” works:
1- where to upload it?
2- what to do next?

thank you in advance.

I am currently using WordPress version 2.6.3 and the schedule post is NOT working properly. I also use the WP-Mailing-List Plugin, which also schedules tasks, probably using the same procedure as post scheduling – I am not a developer and do not actually know if that’s really how the plugin works… but I suppose yes (if it help developers finding the problem)… I can provide anyone with the plugins file for testing purpose if needed…

All scheduling tasks do not work for me => i.e.:

– Post scheduling: What I do: I set date/time, write my post, and click PUBLISH => the post appears as “scheduled” in the management list, and once date/time is past… it is still scheduled but “XX minutes/hours AGO”!!
==> my solution: edit the post, scroll the “status” menu on the right, select “published” ==> post appears on the website with the date/time I set up previously… strange, huh?

– Mass mailing using WP-Mailing-List Plugin: I schedule a task which generally is “10 emails every 60 minutes” (not to overload my server’s ports, limited to 100 openings at a time) and to have 240 emails sent per day (a newsletter sent to over 1,400 people, it takes a week, I know…) ==> once the first sending is supposed to be sent… simply nothing gets out of the queue list… and something like this appears:
Current Date & Time 2008-11-14 09:57:27
Next schedule event 2008-11-13 07:20:11 => more than 2 hours before, and nothing neither happens, nor happened.

For the records, I tried a couple suggestion: the “click Publish” is not a solution (if it appears in your management list as scheduled, it is because you clicked Publish/if you clicked “Save”, it will appear in Draft, even a “scheduled draft”) => this is definitely not hte solution.
I also tried a couple cron.php and wp-cron.php files that can be found on other feeds about this issue => did not work for me either.

A solution PLEASE!!! Thanks =)

For development purpose, I rewrite my host servers characteristics:

I encounter the same issue.

I run three WP on my site. Version is 2.6.3
PHP Version 4.3.11
System FreeBSD hostingprod.com 4.11-YAHOO-20080312 FreeBSD 4.11-YAHOO-20080312 #0: i386
Host: Yahoo! Smallbusiness / domain name transport-expertise.org

Scheduling does not work: I run a version on the www. part of my site with WP-Mailing-List plugin (and I cannot use the scheduled sendings of the plugin either). I also run two other versions of WP (2.6.3) on the fr. and en. parts of my website, and the posts schedule does not work (when posting time passes, it appears “xx mins/hours ago” and post is not published.

Is there a real way to fix it? I check all links provided in this thread and nothing looks like being do-able for my problem…

Developers, will you please do something in 2.7.X ???
