I had no idea what you were talking about but decided to have a look and yep, nicely done, that fixed the issue! Now just need developers to fix it so the next update doesnt break it again! Though I will save that code for if it does.

Nice work and thanks heaps!

Hi again,

Just playing again at work and the issue replicates every time.

I click the new ‘Schedule Update’ link for the page, make the changes, set the date/time and click Save.

The ‘new’ version of the page is now in the pages list (right below the original) with the date and time of the update to be published beside it. Opening the original page in WP shows it is published and privacy set to public, however attempting to open this page by anyone else receives the 404 error. It would seem as though the links on the parent page are either pointing to the new as yet hidden page, or the original page is somehow set as private and not visible to outside viewers.

Once published either automatically via the time preset, manually by clicking publish now, or, hitting the Trash link on the new scheduled page, everything now works again properly for outside viewers.

Cant really work out why, unless it has something to do with other plugins running.

OK, so general public who are not logged in who browse to the site using normal url and then internal page links to the waiting to update page are seeing a 404 error whilst it is waiting to update. This is my problem.

I now understand that the logged in WP user sees the already updated page – though I find that quite bizzare, but why cant a non logged in user find the original page?

Hmm.. Further investigations. On my own machine, the machine I am editing the pages using tao-schedule, when I view the live website the changes appear instantly when saved and do not wait for the update time, no matter how much I refresh the website page (looking at the page source it also shows them as preview-xxxx where xxxx is the page ID of the new scheduled page). However If I look from a different device (tried my phone and an ipad) the page is not visible at all, returning a 404 not found error until the schedule time passes (just like it did with the inbuilt wordpress schedule)…

I think I may have to give up, there is something just not right in my installation!

Hi, thanks for the response. I am definitely doing it as you say, using the Scheduled Update to create a duplicate page, editing that page then pressing Save. The list of pages then shows the original and the scheduled page.

However, when I navigate to the actual website the changes are already there. I have tried setting them 5 minutes, 10 minutes, an hour 20 minutes ahead and every time I hit Save the changes are visible on the website.

I also just upgraded to v1.6 and tried again with the same result! Would love this to work as I have regular updates required to go live after hours.
