Scheduled posts and scheduled tasks

  • Hi,

    I have a website on a hosting provider which only offers limited scheduled tasks capabilities. In few words, I can setup a scheduled task via their control panel but only insert a URL within the domain as the task (so no commands or else) on top of selecting the time and recurrencies.

    I have disabled WP CRON in wp-config.php.

    In the scheduled task I have tried different URLs with no luck:
    – domain.ext/wp-cron.php
    – domain.ext/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron
    – domain.ext/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1
    – domain.ext/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=true
    (They would not work even before disabling WP CRON JOB )

    It does not matter what I do, scheduled posts do not get published.

    I would like to know if there is anybody with a similar scenario and any idea of a possible workaround. I thought about creating an alternative “cron” file myself with a PHP script to call with the scheduled task, but if I could avoid this would be way better.

    Thank you for any help! ??

  • The only way to resolve this is to use a plugin like “WP Missed Schedule”. That’s the only solution that I’ve found.

    When the cron job is executed, the publing publishes what didn’t make the cut.

    Hi, thank you for your reply.

    Unfortunately the plug-in was removed and it is no longer available for download. I have found a different one, although I hoped I could avoid a plug-in ??
