Our plugin specializes in resolving the “missed scheduled post” issue with precision. It ensures that your scheduled posts consistently meet their publication deadlines. This post scheduler plugin has been meticulously crafted for optimal performance, guaranteeing zero impact on your website’s speed and responsiveness.
What Causes the Missed Scheduled Post Error?
Not seeing WordPress scheduled posts show up on time?
WordPress relies on something called “WordPress cron jobs” to make these posts go live as scheduled. Think of “cron” as a fancy way of saying “commands that follow a schedule,” just like your WordPress scheduled posts.
In the technical world, a real “cron job” operates at the server level. But since WordPress can’t access that level directly, it does the next best thing by running a “simulated cron.”
These simulated cron jobs, including the one for your scheduled posts, are supposed to kick in whenever someone (or even a bot) visits your site. But because it’s not the real deal, there are times when it slips up and leads to a “missed schedule” hiccup.
How Do I Fix the Missed Posts Schedule Error in WordPress
Scheduled Post Check: Our post scheduler plugin diligently examines your posts every fifteen minutes to detect any missed schedule errors. If it finds one, it takes the initiative to automatically publish the missed post for you.
Comprehensive Checks: We employ a range of techniques to ensure that no scheduled post slips through the cracks, guaranteeing a seamless posting experience for you.
