Comments on: WordPress: Missed Schedule for Scheduled Posts – A Plugin Fix

Hi Sara – Check her timezone settings – WordPress might think it’s in a different time zone than the client does. Set her zone to the city closest to her.

Otherwise I’m not sure what would be causing that.

Hi Kim,

I installed this plugin for a client and now her posts are posting earlier than she scheduled them for. Is this something that can be fixed?

You’re my WordPress guru so I thought I’d see if you had any words of wisdom! : )

Thanks!

Guess I’ll have to check with Network Solutions, then. I’m sure the line will be, “It’s a WordPress problem.”

Hi Regina – Usually the issue is with the host, not with WordPress so it’s been hard to “fix”. But it’s also been one of those things where some fixes work for some people but not for others. There’s never been a complete solution for everyone. I’ve been following this problem and working on it on and off for almost 2 years now.

Fortunately, it hasn’t happened to me – yet. I schedule all of my posts and my posts would be really disrupted if I couldn’t schedule them.

Hi Kim,

Yes, I realized I would have to update the file each time WP is upgraded (sigh). It seems like a problem that should be addressed as many people use the scheduled post feature.

Client is hosted on Network Solutions; never had a problem until the recent upgrade to 2.9.2.

Hi Regina – I have a client on 2.9.2 where the problem just started too – I’m wondering if the webhost changed something. Is the client using godaddy?

I haven’t tried the modification so I don’t know if it will work – and of course, it can vary from host to host. I would backup the original cron.php file, modify it and then see if it fixes the problem. If it doesn’t, put the original back. Just keep in mind that if the modification works that file will get overwritten the next time WordPress is upgraded.

Hi Kim,

I’m running WP 2.9.2 on a client’s site and just ran into this problem. What do you think of the idea of modifying this file: wp-includes/cron.php as shown in this WP Forum thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293727?replies=2

Normally, I wouldn’t modify a WP file (other than those that are theme related), but I don’t want to add another plugin.

Hi Andy – Thanks! Fortunately I didn’t end up having the problem on my live site – just on the test server. The plugin works great though.

Hi Kim!

Once again I search for the answer to a WordPress issue I’m experiencing and find you’ve covered it already. It’s great to have a WP expert delving through forum posts and bug reports to get to the meat of the problem.

Cheers,
Andy
