Schedule Posts Not Working in 2.5

  • I upgraded to 2.5 – everything went well, except for two of my most favorite plug-ins crapping out (Image Manager and PodPress). however, I noticed this morning that the publish date and time is not working correctly.

    When I click the edit button and change the time, then click save or publish, the post gets published at the current date and time and not in the future.

    I have disabled all plug-ins and it still does not work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as being able to properly schedule a post is vital for my website.

    yokyek that comes up as an invalid link

    has anyone resolved this?

    i went to my cron job manager after putting the cron.php file into the wordpress installation. However I don’t know what command to type into the cron job manager. Can someone please tell me what to type?

    Thanks

    This is just SO bad that, while I appreciate those that are trying to find a fix, I question Open Source! Is this the thread to monitor for a possible fix?

    I tried running that job using cron but I’m not sure I did it right. Now future dated posts post immediately instead of waiting until the scheduled time

    Frustrating!

    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    I must have the wrong cron job file because it is not working. Can someone please post the correct full code for the wp-cron.php file

    thanks!

    I scheduled 4000 posts in WordPress 2.6.1 and they stopped publishing.
    Great hah!

    I found out wp-cron.php is running out of memory and after allocating more it now works again ??

    Schedule posts worked for me last week. This week? Nope.

    Over the weekend I installed WP Super Cache and that is the only thing different since last week. I’ve deactivated it, but still no scheduled posts.

    Anyone else using WPSC?

    Well, I have found my solution to the posting problem, I doubt this is going to fix it for everyone (it’s a very simple fix due to my ignorance) but I wanted to share it with everyone because I spent 2 days stressing and 5 hours of research trying to figure out why my scheduled posts weren’t posting, then I figured out what my problem was.

    Here it is:

    P.S. Dont’ Laugh! And please comment and let me know if this is what fixes things for you.

    Any solution to this?

    I have some additional information. I was using Bluehost and the scheduled posting worked fine. On the same server I have a lot of different domains and blogs. I recently moved to Hostgator and my main blog stopped schedule post. If I set a post to schedule 5 minutes from now it says 5 mins from now in WP-Admin panel as it should. Of course it doesnt get posted on time and if its 2 minutes past posting time it says 2 mins from now, like it is all backwards.

    Scheduled posting works fine on all my addon-domains on the same server and on the same host.

    No WordPress installation of mine has wp-cron.php in /includes but on the root and it works fine on all my blogs except my main one.

    I have also compared wp-cron.php (which has permission 644) in my main blog vs. the others, and they are identical.

    The only difference is that I am running 2.62 on my main blog and 2.61 on my other blogs. Will try to update one of my blogs and see if stops scheduling as well.

    No difference. I am stumped.

    I am on bluehost and it isn’t working properly for me but maybe my wp-cron.php file has an error message in it. or the cron job isn’t set up correctly

    does anyone have a working wp-cron.php file that I can install to see if that fixes it?

    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 ???

    Guys, you are ALL confused.

    This is the solution.

    Does WordPress monitor this forum? Any word on when they will fix this bug? I read the article above about the publish button, but it does not work. Maybe it does technically, I don’t know, but it does not work from a usability standpoint. I have users emailing me to please publish their posts for them. The status of the post says scheduled, regardless of whether you click save or publish, so it is impossible to tell if a post will actually start showing up on time.
