WordPress 4.4.2 Missed Schedule

@oaepauli
Hi! Thank you for writing.

I think multiple things could cause the Scheduled post to not publish, and so I don’t want to speculate the solution without knowing more first.

Here’s a tool I’ve found that gives more insight into how many posts are scheduled, and when:

“WP Crontrol” plugin ( https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-crontrol/ )

After installing and activating this plugin, one could then go to Admin > Tools > Cron Events and *view* some information about the existing Scheduled posts.

For example, the WP-Cron Events in the list that have a Hook Name of “publish_future_post” and a Recurrence of “Non-repeating” represent the scheduled posts.

What do you see in the list of scheduled posts?

My idea in suggesting this is to at least suggest a tool that lets one view/learn more about the problem.

To what extent does this help?

Let us know how you go?

Here’s what worked for me. Set up this cron job:

wget -O https://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

A lot of other posts I’ve read suggest adding the query string ?doing_wp_cron to the end of the command. That did not work for any of my websites. But once I removed the query string. It worked!

Also I have one website that has define( ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true ); in wp_config.php and another one that doesn’t. In both cases, the cron job above (without query string) published the scheduled posts.

Hope that helps!

Hey, just checking in — how’s this going?

What did you think of @itsjustdiana ‘s and my ideas, and what do you think your next step will be?

Hey guys. I have been having the same problem with ‘Missed Schedule’ posts as ‘OAEPauli’. The website I am having the trouble with is https://www.descent-world.co.uk using WordPress 4.4.3

I have installed ‘WP-Control’ plugin as mjjojo said and looked through the ‘WP-Cron Events’. I can’t find anything under the Hook Name column called ‘publish_future_post’. But under Recurrence column there are a few ‘Non-repeating’ events, shown below:

upgrader_scheduled_cleanup – [24695] – 2016-05-17 23:24:48 (1 hour 9 minutes) – Non-repeating

wangguard_cronjob_runner – [1] – 2016-05-18 01:00:00 (2 hours 44 minutes) – Non-repeating

I have also tried what itsjustdiana suggested adding the following code:
wget -O https://yoursite.com/wp-cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

I have added the code into the into ‘Add PHP Cron Event’ tab in the WP-Cron-Events plugin. I am not sure this is the right place though…
As I still getting the same problem of Missed Schedule posts.

Any help is appreciated. Has anyone else had any joy fixing the Missed Schedule posts?

Hello,

I’m currently experiencing an issue with the scheduled posts, not publishing. These posts remain unpublished for hours or until I go into the post and manually select update. My website is https://www.ameliahay.com and my site is hosted via GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress. I don’t have access to the server in which my sites are hosted.

I’ve run various tests and I’ve deactivated my plug-ins including jetpack and I’ve changed my theme from Divi to twenty sixteen and I’m still getting the missed schedule error.
