It took me a while to figure it all out… nothing seemed to be working in my case!

but…

The solution posted before; replacing the ‘wp-cron’ and ‘cron’ file is partly working: it’s working for all the ‘new’ scheduled posts (scheduled after the replacement). All the posts which have been scheduled before replacement of those files will still be marked as ‘missed schedule’ in the future.

The (only) solution to avoid that is like chrisgiddings showed: draft and then publish again.

So if you’ve got many posts scheduled, make an export of your WP-blog, replace the cron and wp-cron files, import your blog again!!

mysql is now suspect number 1: “GLOBAL wait_timeout = 60”
but I don’t seem to have acces to change it..
anybody an idea?

Even changed all the mysql ‘time’ settings in the php.ini file to either 600sec or inifinite.
Still WordPress times out after 60sec. I’m busy with this problem for about 2 days now, just can’t figure it out.. really need some help!!!!

All done, tried it with:
max_execution_time = 600
max_input_time = 600
memory_limit = 128M
post_max_size = 64M
upload_max_filesize = 64M

The file is only 2.5MB, so it shouldnt be a problem. I also changed the
“set_time_limit(60)” (in the wordpress.php, the file used by wordpress to upload) into “set_time_limit(600)”.
But nothing seems to work. Emptyed my database through mysql. Even with an empty database it times out somewhere between 30-60sec. Just able to import around 300 posts.

I don’t get a error message or something…it just stops..

Hi there,

Don’t know if you’ve solved the problem by now, but this could be a solution:

You should also change:
post_max_size = 8M

into:
post_max_size = 40M (or larger!)

Good luck!

I’ve got quite a similar problem, only with the ‘time out’ during importing posts.
I’m also on bluehost. I’ve copied the php.ini file into the _public directory, changed the config to ‘single php.ini’ and changed the following settings:
max_execution_time = 90
max_input_time = 300
memory_limit = 32M
post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 8M

I know the server uses the file, since the max upload file size in wordpress has changed from 2MB to 8MB.
The first 2-3 files (about 2-3MB each) weren’t a problem, but from there on, the number of posts imported before the timeout decreased… now the server times out every time during import, not even able to import 1 new post. In total I’ve got about 4500 posts imported already, another 5500 to go.

What other settings should I change? I’m using WP 2.7.1
