Scheduled revisions are not being published at scheduled time

    I am testing the PublishPress Revisions plugin for a client. Site is a staging site on WPEngine. The client requires for revisions to be scheduled.

    In accordance with the documentation, I:

    checked the time zones – they match
    enabled WP Engine CRON
    unchecked the asynchronous checkbox in the plugin settings.

    We have made several attempts to schedule updates but with no success. WPEngine are not seeing CRON tasks appear that look like the are related to the revisions plugin.

    Hello @sianalcock21

    This is a known issue that we are currently troubleshooting. Replication has been a challenge so far; it may be this is related to a change in WP Engine caching behavior.

    The plugin does not use wp-cron, so that CRON task analysis you mentioned is not meaningful.

    @sianalcock21 Can you please confirm that Revisions 3.0.12-rc2 resolves the revision publication issue on your site?

    https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/revisionary.zip

    After uploading and activating, take a look at Revisions > Settings > Scheduled Revisions. The new option “Use WP-Cron scheduling” should be automatically enabled on WP Engine sites. If not, you’ll need to enable it.

    Hi Kevin – thanks alot, I confirm that has fixed it on our WPEngine staging site with WPEngine Alternate CRON enabled – as detailed here:

    https://wpengine.com/support/wp-cron-wordpress-scheduling/

    I wasn’t sure if you were saying that that service is needed or not. Anyway, it is working.

    Can I also check Kevin. Once you submit a revision and schedule it. Does the scheduled publish only happen if approved? Or if scheduled, will it get published whether approved or not?

    When a revision is scheduled directly from the post edit screen (by a user with full editing capabilities setting a future date and then “Schedule Revision”), no further approval is needed.

    When a revision is created using the “New Revision” link or button, it is created as an unapproved revision. If the date is set to future, that is treated as a requested publication time; the revision still needs to be approved for the scheduling to take effect.

    We have a request to change this behavior such that if an Administrator or Editor sets a submitted revision to a future date, scheduling is approved automatically. That option will likely be supported in an upcoming release (but not today’s release).
