WordPress Scheduled Post Solution
Mye, a blogger friend of mine informed me about the WordPress scheduled post problem and asked for my help. She experienced it when she installed the latest WordPresss 2.9 version. The installation was successful except that, her setup of scheduled post were not publishing.
I know how important scheduled posts are specially for those who are into Project 365 (it’s a project wherein you post about your daily activities or take a pictures of what you are doing) , and don’t forget the members of Adgitize who are trying to post every day in order to get more points ( and more earnings).
For those who haven’t experienced a missed WordPress post schedule, here’s how it looks like:
The normal status of a post are published, scheduled, pending review and draft . As you can see from the captured screen the status of the post is “Missed Schedule”.
How To Fix The WordPress Scheduled Post Problem
1. Good news! WordPress developers were alerted of this bug as soon as they uploaded the 2.9. If you installed this version, all you have to do is install the WordPress 2.9.1. It fixed this missed schedule problem and more.
2. If you are not using WP 2.9 and yet you are experiencing this problem, I recommend that you use a plugin.
2.1 Scheduled MIA – a WordPress plugin that looks for posts with a date in the past and that still have post_status=future.
2.2. Missed Schedule – It runs automatically every 15 minutes and will publish “future” posts in database.
I just want to tell you my dear readers, that not all bugs can be seen by the developers of WordPress. Remember that WordPress is an open source application written by hundreds of contributors. The least we can do is be patient and report the bugs encountered. WordPress needs your help too!
Best WordPress Theme
If you rely on your blog for the food in your table, I highly recommend that “never upgrade without doing a local test”. Setting up a local test is very easy, but this is not our topic for today. I might just blog about that in the future.
Happy Blogging 2010 everyone!

Agghhh! There’s a new version of WordPress already?? Whoops, I suppose this is a good thing. Thanks for the information, Eric. I’ll bet you helped out a ton of folks.
Thanks for this fix.. I haven’t updated my WP to 2.9 but will know what to do if I suffer the same problem
I think this one of many reasons why 2.9.1 fast to released
I missed a scheduled post but I didn’t see the missed sched thingy. hmm.. or I missed seeing it. hehe. anyway, it’s working fine now. ^^
This is very informative. I still do not know how to do this at wordpress, thanks for sharing the info, all the best.
nice…
I should save this page
I want to update my WP too
I’ve not upgraded yet to 2.9.1. I’m making sure that there are no errors with the new version.
Thanks for this solution. In fact there is WP 3.0 already, but I need to use old version cause some plugins don’t work with the new one and I have this problem with the scheduled post. Thanks once again
This solution is working good. However this problem was solved in the newest WP 3. I suggest you to upgrade to new version because the old one has some bugs which can make your site to be hacked. If you have some old plugins is better to pay sb to make them working with the new WP.
