Couple of days back I told you about latest wordpress version 2.9 which has some nice new features. But like earlier major releases , even this time wordpress latest version is not bug free. Specially for people who do lots of post scheduling , they will find this latest bug very irritating.
Wordpress 2.9 has some problem with Cron jobs or I will say missed schedule problem.
When you schedule a post, post doesn’t get published in the desired timeline and you will see an error message “Missed schedule”.
I was looking into wordpress support forum and I can see lots of complaints about this problem.
There are many work around for this problem, which I’m trying now, but it will be better if Wordpress will release a quick update to resolve this problem.
Are you facing any such issues after upgrading to latest version of wordpress 2.9?

Hi Harsh
I have not seen this problem on my blogs. I updated recently too and I use scheduling a lot, can this is because of some other reason or plugin which might be creating some problem with WP2.9 ?
Im not sure if every one is facing this problem, but I have heard a lot from many bloggers facing issue after latest update. That including me. Its good u not facing it
This issue was already there in previous versions of Wordpress but we were not facing the same because of our system performance. This time Wordpress came with bundle of features which slows down the system at the scheduled time. I figured out the solution and that’s working fine. Just update the timeout limit which is very less rt now… to be exact 0.01 sec.
Hey there
Yes, I am also having this problem. We cleaned out our site and started again with our new blog, installed 2.9 and now all posts are not going as per the schedule, so having to manually confirm them each time now.
Sanjeev mentioned something about setting the timeout limit, but I am not sure where or how to do this, does anyone else know?
Martin
Could you kindly tell me how to set the timeout limit to 0.01 sec in Wordpress?
I’ve been looking for a solution for this but I couldn’t find any. Also, I see that the Scheduled Draft Post doesn’t work anymore when we upgraded to ver. 2.9
John you need to edit your cron.php file. Meanwhile wordpress released the new version and that is 2.9.1 and you can upgrade it from the dashboard and that will resolve this issue. If you still have any issue, feel free to get in touch with me via contact page.
Hi Harsh, I’m in your boat i’m afraid posts just won’t schedule! would you recommend changing the timeout on the dashboard or in the cron.php file using FTP? I’ve tried the dashboard change with no results and wondered if hard coding it would be the better option?
I will suggest make changes in cron.php via http://ftp.. Though take a backup of file before making any changes.
Let me know if it works for you or not…
