[Resolved] Posts not going up on schedule

[Aaron Redman]

Hi Tom,
For the last couple weeks the posts that I have been scheduling have not been going up and its says “schedule missed”. I am able to get them to post directly if I then go in and edit the time (after they have missed). Do you have an idea of what happened? I used to do this all the time. Then I had to step away for a while and now that I am back the scheduling function does not seem to work.
Thanks!
Aaron

Hmm, seems it may be a WordPress issue with some hosts.

The scheduled posts use the WordPress “cron”: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-40-missed-schedule-posts

I’m not entirely sure of a fix, but if you do some looking around for “WordPress schedule missed” you should be able to find a solution.

Let me know 🙂

I had the same problem (with another theme, so it’s not related to GP). I found a plugin called WP Missed Schedule that fixed it.

Thanks for chiming in! Glad it’s not GP related 🙂

Yup, I used the plug-in and it seemed to work. Of course GP is not the problem. I just assume that Tom is the solution to everything!
