Auto Publish Old Posts ( Not working on FB )

Hi there,

For old posts, please try disabling / enabling again the feature. In some cases that works.
If in Log history is written ‘Success’ it means Microblog Poster has sent out post to FB, so it is up to FB when it comes to display a post.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks

Ok i might agree somewhat with your answer but not i don’t think that’s the issue. If i schedule posts to release every hour or every 20 minutes it works like a charm.

The problem isn’t with the Facebook API.

Thanks for the quick reply ??

UPDATE: Just one question, if the post isn’t eligible for auto-publishing because of the age that needs to be re-published, does micro blog poster pick another one?

Yes it does.

It might be broken. At this moment i removed the age for re-publish and it is working fine(for now). I’ll give you feedback in 24 hours.

Thanks.

Plugin is broken, if i update the posts manually, every hour it works as intended. Using the Auto Publish Old Posts does not work as intended.

Hi there,

In order to automate things like auto publishing old posts, Microblog Poster is using the WP Cron functionality.

Make sure that you didn’t disable WP Cron in wp-config.php file.
If you find this line in it:

define( ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true );

you’ll have to remove it if you want the Auto Publish Old Posts to function correctly.

2. Try disabling plugins such as WP Crontrol, WP-Cron Control, etc..
They might change the standard execution of WP Cron feature.

Regards!

I don’t use WP Cron at all because well… it’s poorly designed and doesn’t work very well.

I use crontab for scheduled posts. Do you know any cronjob i can use for republishing the old posts?

Started to use the wp-cron again and the posts are now displaying on the pages properly, but even after i use a 1 hour cron schedule, some hours it posts, others it doesn’t (and it doesn’t appear on the post history). The plugin is probably broken.

Try the following:

1. Disable Wp Cron in the config file.

2. Set up a crontab pointing to wp-cron.php file, each 30 minutes lets say

See what happens, normally it should work fine.

Already did that with a cron job every 3 minutes. I’m 95% sure the plugin is broken.

I bought the premium extension as well and i really need this to be working properly. Still trying to figure out of it is the wp-cron that screws this up, or if it is the plugin who doesn’t pick another post after the previous one not being valid (due to the date posted or something). I think it’s the later one.

What do you recommend? I can try to contact you trough email so you, or a developer, analyse this.

Thanks
