Sometimes posts are not published in the time you have set in WP.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You set the day and time and yet your post was not published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you think it’s a bug, it’s not, it could be because that’s how WordPress works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WP Cron and how it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The function to publish a scheduled post is started by a part in WordPress called WP-CRON. For the feature to kick in, something needs to happen on the website. And therein lies the problem! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your website visitor triggers WP-CRON and then the function runs, so if there are no visitors to your website, wp-cron will not run and no post will be published. So the problem arises on pages with little traffic.

WP-cron also hates other things on your site and starts automatic updates, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a custom cron job instead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best and easiest solution is to run a regular cron job through your web host instead. Then you won’t be dependent on visitors and things will work the way you thought they would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the web host, you set a cron job to https:\/\/dindoman.se\/wp-cron.php that runs every 5 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should also add the following line to your wp-config.php to tell wordpress that you are managing cron alongside WordPress<\/p>\n\n\n\n

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
