Descripcion
Some WordPress sites have problems with scheduled posts, where they don’t get published at the right time. Instead they appear as « missed schedule ». This plugin monitors scheduled posts, and makes sure that doesn’t happen.

FAQ
-
How does it work?
-
On « shutdown » (after WP finishes a request), it checks a timer. If it has been 3 minutes since it last checked, it looks at all the scheduled posts, and runs them through a WordPress core function that either publishes them (if they should have gone out already), or re-schedules them, if their schedule has somehow gone away.
-
My post missed its schedule anyway!
-
Normally, the plugin checks every 3 minutes. So it’s possible the post might go out a few minutes late. I hope this isn’t the end of the world. It’s a tradeoff between this and checking all the time. Additionally, if a check determines that there are currently no scheduled posts, it won’t look again for 15 minutes. Most people schedule posts more than 15 minutes in the future.
-
Can I change those times?
-
Yes. There are filters:
scheduled_post_guardian_delay_minutesandscheduled_post_guardian_stretch_delay_minutes. Return a different number than 3 and 15 for those if you like.
