Volete imparare a risolvere l’errore di mancato invio di un post programmatico in WordPress?
WordPress dispone di una funzione integrata che consente di programmare facilmente la pubblicazione automatica dei post in un momento successivo. Tuttavia, a volte si può notare che i post programmati non vengono pubblicati affatto.
In questo articolo vi mostreremo come risolvere facilmente l’errore di mancata pubblicazione dei post programmati in WordPress. In questo modo, i post programmati saranno pubblicati in tempo.
Che cosa fa sì che WordPress perda i post programmati?
L’ambiente di hosting web o i conflitti tra i plugin possono far sì che WordPress perda i post programmati.
Normalmente, quando si pianifica un post di WordPress da pubblicare in un secondo momento, WordPress utilizza una tecnologia chiamata “Cron” o“WordPress Cron” per pubblicare automaticamente il post in tempo.
Tuttavia, se il server del vostro provider di hosting WordPress o un plugin influisce sui cron job di WordPress, quest’ultimo perderà le attività programmate, come la pubblicazione dei post programmati.
Gli altri cron job potrebbero ancora funzionare occasionalmente, come il controllo degli aggiornamenti o l’eliminazione delle bozze salvate automaticamente. Questo perché una volta saltato l’orario di pubblicazione, WordPress non pubblicherà il post del blog a un orario diverso.
Per la maggior parte degli utenti, non accade molto spesso. Tuttavia, per alcuni blogger, l’errore di mancata programmazione può diventare un problema comune di WordPress.
Questo può essere frustrante quando si gestisce un blog WordPress. Dopo tutto, non si vuole perdere tempo in attività ripetitive o nella correzione di errori di WordPress invece di creare contenuti.
Detto questo, vediamo come risolvere facilmente l’errore di mancata programmazione dei post in WordPress.
Come correggere l’errore di WordPress Missed Schedule Post
La prima cosa da fare è installare e attivare il plugin Missed Scheduled Post Publisher. Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra guida passo passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.
Il plugin funziona subito e non ci sono impostazioni da configurare.
Come funziona il plugin di Publisher per i post programmati mancati?
Il plugin controlla semplicemente il vostro sito web ogni 15 minuti per vedere se un post WordPress programmato non è stato programmato.
Se trova elementi programmati mancanti, cambia lo stato da programmato a pubblicato. In questo modo, agisce come un trigger di post programmati sul vostro sito web WordPress.
Funziona per i post, le pagine, i prodotti e qualsiasi altro tipo di post personalizzato presente sul vostro sito WordPress.
Abbiamo costruito questo plugin per garantire che non influisca sulla velocità del vostro sito WordPress, perché sappiamo che la velocità è importante per la SEO. Questo è il plugin che utilizziamo sui nostri siti WordPress.
Risoluzione dell’errore di mancata pubblicazione dei post programmati in WordPress
Se l’installazione del plugin per l’attivazione dei post programmati non risolve immediatamente l’errore dei post programmati sul vostro sito web, di seguito sono riportati alcuni suggerimenti che potete provare.
1. Controllare le impostazioni del fuso orario di WordPress
L’impostazione del fuso orario corretto è una delle prime cose da fare dopo l’installazione di WordPress. Tuttavia, a volte gli utenti non lo fanno e il fuso orario di WordPress non corrisponde a quello che vogliono utilizzare per la pubblicazione e la gestione del loro sito web.
Basta andare su Impostazioni ” Generali dalla dashboard di WordPress e scorrere fino alla sezione “Fuso orario” per visualizzare le impostazioni. Da qui, dovete selezionare il vostro fuso orario o il fuso orario che volete utilizzare per il vostro sito WordPress.
Non dimenticate di fare clic sul pulsante “Salva modifiche” per memorizzare le impostazioni.
2. Cancellare la cache di WordPress
Se i post di WordPress continuano a non essere programmati, è probabile che ciò sia dovuto a un plugin di caching mal configurato.
Provate a cancellare la cache di WordPress e assicuratevi che il plugin di caching di WordPress sia configurato correttamente per cancellare automaticamente la cache a intervalli regolari.
3. Aumentare il limite di memoria di WordPress
Il vostro sito web WordPress potrebbe avere un problema di basso limite di memoria. È possibile risolvere il problema consentendo a WordPress di utilizzare una maggiore quantità di memoria del server, che consente a WordPress di funzionare meglio.
Per prima cosa è necessario accedere al file wp-config.php utilizzando un client FTP come FileZilla o l’applicazione File Manager all’interno di cPanel nella dashboard del vostro hosting WordPress. È possibile trovarlo all’interno della cartella principale.
Per maggiori dettagli, potete leggere la nostra guida su come utilizzare FTP per caricare file su WordPress.
Consigliamo quindi di fare un backup del file wp-config.php nel caso in cui si commettano errori. Potete leggere la nostra guida su come eseguire il backup del vostro sito.
Quindi, è sufficiente aggiungere il seguente codice al file wp-config.php, subito prima della riga di codice che dice: “Questo è tutto, smettete di modificare! Buona pubblicazione”.
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '500M');
Per ulteriori informazioni, potete consultare la nostra guida su come aumentare il limite di memoria PHP in WordPress.
4. Disattivare wp-cron e impostare un nuovo lavoro di Cron
Come abbiamo detto in precedenza, WordPress cron (noto anche come wp-cron) potrebbe mancare di attività programmate come la pubblicazione dei post di WordPress.
È possibile disabilitare wp-cron e creare un proprio cron job che verrà eseguito sul sistema operativo del vostro provider di web hosting. Questo job indicherà a WordPress di eseguire attività programmate, come la pubblicazione dei post programmati.
Per ulteriori informazioni, consultate la nostra guida su come disabilitare wp-cron in WordPress e impostare i cron job corretti.
Ci auguriamo che questo tutorial su WordPress vi abbia aiutato a capire come risolvere facilmente l’errore di mancato invio di un post programmatico in WordPress.

I finally solved a similar problem by deactivating CRON in WordPress using wp-config.php and setting the classic cron on the server to the url wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron. Cron starts every 5 minutes and the problem is over.
Jakub says
Thank you very much for great and simple article, that helped to solve the problem very quickly. I used plug-in option. If it starts to make some trouble, I will try to increase the memory limit. Wish you joyful day and thank you again for your work.

Thanks a lot for this post! The plugin works great and fixes the error
Natalie says
Hi, why is it that this error occurs? I was republishing a post and scheduled for a few minutes ahead – every time, it did not publish. I downloaded the plugin and it worked right away. Also… I will only need this once a week or so, should I just deactivate the plugin when I’m not using it? Thanks
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Natalie,
Yes, you can deactivate the plugin when not using it.

Nancy Meyer says
I have also having a post scheduling issue. I have a weekly program. My 89th show missed its schedule date. I have had scheduling issues since going ‘live’ in January of 2016! I have tried many things. I use the Advanced Cron Manager plugin. Today I need help again. Any thoughts?
Andrew Dawson says
Does anyone know how to get the WP Missed Schedule plugin from Github up into WordPress. I’m a beginner user but need to use this plugin and for the life of me, I can’t figure out where the file is on Github. When I got to this person GitHub site, and download the “zip”, it downloads a folder to my computer with a bunch of files in the folder, but none of them are a Zip file. There is two .php files and I”m not sure if I’m supposed to use them somehow. Please help! Thanks! And also, if someone knows of a better alternative to dealing with Missed Schedule let me know. I use GoDaddy Managed WordPress which has a caching issue that can’t be fixed and I don’t have access to create a cron job, so I have to find a workaround. Any help would be appreciated on either getting the WP Missed Schedule zip file and have directions how to do that and get it installed or another plugin suggestion. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Andrew
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Andrew,
If you are using Windows, then you can right click on the folder and then select Send to > Compressed zip folder. If you are on Mac then right click and select Compress “wp-missed-schedule-master”. This will create a zip file for you and then you can install the plugin from WordPress admin area by visiting Plugins > Add New page and clicking on the Upload button.
Admin
Andrew Dawson says
I use a Mac and Is this a safe plugin to use? I just didn’t understand why they took it off of WordPress and put in in github?
Lotus says
Php file blocked by htaccess, it always blocks wp-cron.php too, So It should not run the cron job, It will be fixed after you add wp-cron.php again. (I had this issue and now it was be fixed)
Mary Ann Aschenbrenner says
This worked like a charm. Installed WP Missed Schedule and the missed post was posted immediately. Thank you!
AEHageman says
WordPress 4.5.3 running
missed schedule
Is it me or is WordPress become more difficult to operate and less trust worthy?
WPBeginner Support says
We have updated the article with updated link for the plugin which is now available on GitHub only.

Mark says
Has anyone found a more recent solution for this problem. The “WP Missed Schedule” plugin no longer exists, unfortunately, and I’ve tried every suggested fix I can find without any luck.
Dave says
July 3 2016 – Having the same problem. Scheduled posts NEVER post on time. I always must force the post manually. Some have suggested shutting off all plugins but this seems like a drastic action. Apparently the plugin “WP Missed Schedule” is no longer available.
Dale Reardon says
Hi,
I am using WordPress V4.5.2 and still having this problem with scheduled posts not getting published – this morning it published 3 of the 6 scheduled posts only.
The plugin you recommend is no longer in the repository it seems.
Do you have another recommendation?
Thanks,
Dale.
Nouman Younas says
Yes, I am also facing this issue in Version 4.5.2
and above mentioned plugin is no more
Ach says
Hi,
Is there a way to fix WITHOUT using any wordpress plugin???
Thx
Your Real Name says
Having this issue with the latest version of WordPress Free. Scheduled posts don’t actually post until I go onto the site. Comes up with a missed schedule message.
Rachael says
Worked for me, great! Thanks.
JAcob says
Is it possible to change the time between running the cron??
Pradeep Rajadas says
We have this problem even on WordPress 4.1. Our site is on AWS Beanstalk – maybe that is causing the Cron to stop working. Or maybe it is W3TC.
K. S. Brooks says
I hear you. We’re having this problem with 4.1.1. It’s such a nuisance. I guess we’ll have to give the plugin a try.
Rafael says
I think the issue may be W3TC. Scheduling on my website worked perfectly until I recently installed W3TC. Upon disabling the plugin, scheduling works perfectly again!
Rafael says
So it’s been a few days now and I have been monitoring the scheduling on my website without W3TC and everything continues to be running smoothly.
W3TC was definitely the culprit for my “missed schedule” errors. Now I just have to figure out why!!!!!
Eben says
I found having object cache enabled was the culprit of me, disabling that and switching to database cache fixed it for me
Chris Howard says
We had this happen last week on WP 4.0. Why the heck can’t WP fix it? If they can identify a missed schedule, why can’t they include a mechanism to try again?
The scheduling task obviously runs regularly, so all it has to do is not only look for scheduled posts due, but missed ones, and post them all. QED?
Jakob says
Hey Syed, we are having the same problem on our news blog
Anyways I do not like to install the plugin to fix the issue. I think it is like building an other house while one is burning. I have not found the solution yet but I try to firefight the burning house and make in being comfortable and nice again rather than building up a small side-hut, for which i will not know if it is compatible with future wordpress releases.
WPBeginner Support says
In most cases it is usually a server configuration issue, if your web servers configuration does not play nice ith cron jobs then it is hard to fix without using the plugin.
Admin
Yazmin says
Can you give an example of this… the “web servers configuration does not play nice ith cron jobs” line? It’s hard to truly understand what is going on to see if it can even be addressed.
Thanks!
Holly Jahangiri says
Just noticed that if I schedule a post, then edit it, it appears as having “missed schedule” even if the scheduled date is a month in the future.
I don’t know if this will fix it, but I made that error go away by doing a quick edit and changing the time (even by a minute) on the schedule. Those posts now show as “Scheduled.”
We’ll see if they post on schedule or not – but the first one’s not due to kick off until April 1. (I have not installed this, or any other “fix” – just noticed this under All Posts.)
Huram says
Thanks, will use it and see.
Sinan İŞLER says
WP Missed Schedule making huge errorlog I dont recommend using this plugin. Some times it is getting loop and messing your vps
I say fix your server problem or get a stronger server-vps. This is my way. And I fix this problem with new vps.
Paul says
Thanks so much for this, it was really frustrating to see that 3 posts were not published on time! Many thanks!
Paul
Tash says
Thanks so much for this post! Really helped. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. I’m on 3.5.1 and am still having this issue.
Anthony R. says
I used this plugin and it definitely helped publish posts that missed schedule, but now I am experiencing an issue where a post that missed and got published still shows up as a “Missed Schedule” post in the WordPress admin.
sanel says
I have a problem that my scheduled gif image posts dont have thumbnails when I use this plugin.
Editorial Staff says
That’s weird. We haven’t encountered this problem.
Admin
Jose says
My 3.5 and 3.5 has missed both scheduled posts and it also fails to run scheduled tasks like the automatic google drive backup that was working well before, or even other backups like ones to dropbox.
Also, certain scheduled tasks like security scans fail to initiate automatically.
Do you think this is all related? Nothing changed with 3.5.1. Would you consider doing a wordpress re-install? Thank you.
Editorial Staff says
It could be related. We recommend asking your web hosting provider regarding this.

Zimbrul says
Great stuff. Yesterday this occurred to me and I was thinking was a isolated bug… Thanks for the tip
Dick Foster says
I’ve been using the scheduled post capability for well over a year now and never had a problem until 3 weeks ago, about the time I upgraded to 3.5. However, today the scheduling worked just fine. I’d don’t use scheduling for a lot of posts, so I think I’ll just wait for the 3.5.1 fix. But it’s good to know about the WP Missed Schedule plugin.
Thanks!
Editorial Staff says
This problem has existed far before 3.5, but only on certain server configurations. This plugin is also a fix for all those users who have been having this WordPress missed schedule problem prior to 3.5
Admin
dee mcgee says
Thank you for this article. I actually didn’t realize I had a problem with WordPress post scheduling. My post didn’t go out as scheduled but being a newbie to WordPress I just thought it was an error on my part.
The Frosty says
Sweet, hopefully there is a setting to change the cron not to run every 5, but something else. Five is too much for a blog that may only have one or two posts a day.
