Like many people with Socia Media sites, I use WordPress extensively. It’s simple to install, infinitely customiseable and very user friendly. However, since WordPress 2007 there has been a problem with scheduling posts – they often miss their scheduled time and sit unpublished on your admin page.
This has worked for me, hope it does for you.
1. Download wp-includes/cron.php from your site into an editor
2. Find the line that includes “wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 0.01, ‘blocking’ => false, …”
3. Edit the line to read “wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 20, ‘blocking’ => false, … ”
4. Save the change
5. Upload the file, overwriting the old cron.php file
In WordPress 3.0, reading the file in Dreamweaver, the line in question is 234
There are other ways around the problem; if this does not work for you, let me know.
Update. This worked for me but only spasmodically. I’ve downloaded a plugin called “Missed Schedule” which seems to deal with the problem.
