Thanks for updating this, and I’m glad you were able to resolve it. I’ll have a look to see if there’s something that can be done about this.

That’s odd, I’ll have a review of 4.2 updates, but I didn’t read anything that should affect it, since it just uses post status. I’ll reply again soon.

Glad it’s working for you now! Hope WorldChris has the same success!

The plugin with the calendar is: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/scheduled-posts-calendar/

There’s a few that will do it, but this one is simple and faster than verifying posts manually.

Sorry, this is the link

It’s showing 1.9.2 now. I confirmed that this IS scheduling on days that are multiples of 10. I’ve linked to a screenshot showing the calendar of scheduled posts for my test site.

I’ve confirmed that WordPress is serving 1.9, so that’s a big part of the problem.

Thanks for the update.

I’m going to try to bump the version and make sure you have the correct code.

The plugin simply says “Starting on this date and moving 1 day at a time, schedule some number of posts” – there’s nothing in there that would cause this degree of simple skipping.

If you downloaded it from www.ads-software.com, it should be the correct file.

Since the plugin uses a random number generator, some days may not get posts, but in my testing, it wasn’t “always” any particular day. I’m going to have to see how I can debug this for you, since the update seemed to make the problem go away for me.

I uploaded 1.9.1 but the repo hasn’t updated it yet. I think I did something wrong. I’ll take a look at it later today.

I was able to duplicate the original 10/20/30 issue and after applying my fix, it was resolved in my testing.

WorldChris – are you saying the plugin refuses to post the next day on ALL days or only on the 10/20/30? Can you give me the exact settings you use like robotrop did?

The number may be a factor. WordPress can be slow updating posts, and updating 999 of them could be timing out, thus preventing some posts from being updated.

Well, that’s odd. I did just duplicate this using your exact method. Skipping the 10th was “normal” as the instructions do say “posts entirely randomly after the date above” – so that’s expected, BUT skipping the 20 & 30 doesn’t make sense at all. I’ll dig and fix this.

Thanks for the details and the clear steps to reproduce this. I’m starting my testing this morning to try to reproduce this.

I’ve seen random reports of this for a while, but can’t reproduce it. The code is VERY straight forward and I’ve reviewed it a number of times.

My only theory at this point – with nothing to back it up – is to ask about your posting frequency? Is it daily? Or some number of hours apart?

My theory is that the math of the posting frequency causes it to skip those days. No idea how that works mathematically, but it is possible.

As of today (Jan 25, 2015), the screenshots are showing the 4 options included in the FREE plugin and they’re pretty decent as a starting point.

I’ll update this in the new version. Not sure why it wasn’t there before.
