2.9 Schedule Posts “missed”

The Missed Schedule plug-in took care of this for me – simple, fast, fixed.

If anyone is reading this thread to try and fix the problem, here is my experience:

Upgraded 4 blogs to 2.9. One, and only one, suffered this problem. The blog are all on the same server. One of the blogs that worked fine has the same template and plug-ins as the one that did not. The one that broke is several months older than the one that worked, so there is some older code in there. When I did the upgrade, the blog that broke would not automatically upgrade – it showed downloading of the zip file forever. Tried several times. I managed the upgrade by turning off all plug-ins, upgrading, then turning all the plug-ins back on. Only problem was this missed schedule bug

After the Semiologic fix (thanks Denis!), scheduled posts go out via RSS and email subscription but do not show up on the actual blog. Suggested fixes?

Oh man I had a good laugh when I saw your “Removing Sanity” post.

There’s definitely a discrepancy between your feed and front page content. Did your front page normally show all of your posts before the upgrade?

This is just an educated guess, but it looks as though someone has excluded your “video” category. When I go to this URL, I find all the missing posts https://www.enlightenedhorsemanship.net/category/video/

Hey microgroove. This could be the answer to my problem. I was trying to remove all the post categories from the horizontal toolbar at the top of the home page. I hate those things. CLUTTER!
So if I go back, add in video to the list of allowed categories, then this will take care of those posts, but how do I prevent this in the future? This may take noodling that is over my head (as most of it is) because I did two things to try to get rid of that list of categories:
One, I used the theme editor that came with my purchased custom theme and I removed the categories one by one according to their number.
Two, I deleted the entire category list in the template. Probably overkill, but I was learning.
I went back and undid the category elimination by number in the theme editor and that did not solve the problem.
Do you have further suggestions?
Thanks

I just recently did the same thing for my friend’s blog so that it would look like ma.tt with a “More…” link in the menu. It took no small amount of code to get it done “right”.

finally

$timeout_ms = (int) ceil( 1000 * $r[‘timeout’] );
$timeout_ms = (int) ceil( 1000 * max($r[‘timeout’], 1) );

this worked for me too : )

Thanks a thousand miqrogroove…

alas ! finally making change in http.php worked

yes, it worked for me too…

*shakes fist at sky*

@miqrogroove You rock.

@ptmccain You don’t need a bug fix. You need a therapist. ??

I upgraded to 2.9.1; still not working.
Installed the patch from https://www.semiologic.com/2009/12/21/wp-2-9-three-bugs-and-how-to-fix-them; still not working.
Changed the $timeout in http.php; nope.

Anyone else still having problems?

Short answer: Add this to the to defines in your wp-config.php file:
define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);

After upgrading to 2.9.1 this missed schedule problem started. No fun…

@phbyerly: That plug-in worked great! Thanks!

Problem: 2.9.1 Schedule Posts “missed”

Domain on godaddy w/ nameservers going to DreamHost.com

Added this to the to defines in wp-config.php file:
define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);

Fixed my issue.

I believe it was a DNS issue as mention in the linked post.

I tested on another install of WP 2.9.1 with the domain registered with DreamHost and the Schedule Posts work just fine, no issues.
