Thanks for the feedback Haloscope

The IPN module doesn’t work for me as I am in New Zealand. Last time I enquired it was only supported in a limited number of countries.

There are some very expensive systems out there that do support membership systems. One of those is memberspeed but that’s $1000 or something. There’s also been some guy roaming the forums recommending his own system but the name escapes me right now. (It’s not either of the systems I see mentioned in this thread)

maybe it’s this one?

has anyone tried it? I’m not keen on an annual license fee. A small one off fee is okay but every year starts to add up

Hi again Otto and Bernard

In this you can see that the screen capture from today (8 November) but it says the post dated 9 November was posted 24 hours ago.

https://whydietsdontworkclubmembers.com/images/wddw-wp2.jpg
Shows the test posts are on the blog now even though they are dated 9 and 15 November 2008.

No reason for them to appear. And odd that it seems to do the inverse. If the post is scheduled to appear in 5 minutes time it says it’s 5 mins old. If it is scheduled in a hour it becomes an hour old, and if scheduled in 24 hours it says it was published 24 hours ago

Weird!

YES of course the post is on the main site. I wouldn’t be here if they didn’t!!! I’ve deleted them now but if I go to the blog section they all show up

As an experiment I did another post and added a day to the time in the post. It shows up immediately in the blog and on the sidebar listing of recent posts dated 9 November.

I’ll do a couple of screen shots for you in a moment

Hmmm this is weird. I have now checked the dashboard, as I planned to edit the posts

Post #1 says it was published 6 mins ago test — Private
Post #2 says it was published 59 mins ago test 2 — Private
Post #3 says it was published 24 hours ago test 1 day — Private

How can that be? Post #3 is dated 7 November at 23:45
It seems to be reversing the time. I don’t get this at all.

So I did a 4th post dated 1 week from now, 2008/11/13 test 1 week — Private

It has also published immediately but it shows the future date in the dashboard

Otto: I have now deleted that job as you suggest.

If it’s not working, then you need to carefully describe what happens. Details are important here.

1. I went into write a new post
2. I typed up a post with “test” in body and heading
3. Next to publish immediately, select “edit”
4. Add 5 minutes to the time that it has in there (i.e. 5 mins from when i started the post)
5. Click publish
6. The screen now says Your post has been saved. View post | Edit post. The post has disappeared from the screen
7. Click VIEW POST shows the post on the blog, published at the time I selected (ie 1145), even though the five minutes are not up

I tried a second time and added 1 hour and 5 mins to the post. Exactly the same problem

I tried a third time and added 1 day to the post time. Exactly the same problem. It posts immediately. Very frustrating!!!

Your help is appreciated as I have 2 other blogs I want to convert to wordpress but have held off until I can fix this problem.
Thanks

hi otto42

i set up cron.php as a job

before i did that the posts didn’t publish at all. they would get to the scheduled time and say they were x minutes old but never publish

i am using fantastico on bluehost

initially someone (you i think?) said the problem was that the job wasn’t scheduled in the cron job manager so i set it up. since doing that all posts publish immediately no matter what time i schedule them for

how do i fix this please?

I took a look and none of those solve my problems

Can someone please advise me why all my posts publish immediately even if it is scheduled for a future dated time?

thanks bernard i will take a look at those threads

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?

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 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!

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

what internet browser are you using?

i think the person who is having trouble with my site is on IE7 but she’s not very computer savvy so am having trouble explaining to her how to find the info to report it to me@

there’s another thread here where we are trying to sort this out and someone has replied!

ok will give it a go tonight and cross my fingers!
