Wordpress Missed schedule problem [Solved]

So my last post was about missed schedule problem in wordpress 2.9. Because of this problem I missed posting many posts which were scheduled.

After looking into lots of solution in wordpress support forum community , I realize the problem is with Wordpress cron jobs. And there is a quick and easy solution to this problem. but to resolve this issue we need to edit our cron.php file which is into wp-includes folder.

Make sure before you start editing your cron file , take a backup of this file . So that while editing if you make any mistake, you can always revert back to previous state.

To start with fixing missed schedule problem , access your wordpress files using any FTP client. Download cron.php file from wp-includes folder.

Look for line

wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 0.01, ‘blocking’ => false, ’sslverify’ => apply_filters(‘https_local_ssl_verify’, true)) );

Change the timeout to some higher value . In my case I changed it to 10 sec, by simply changing

‘timeout’ => 10, ‘blocking’ => false

I’m sure many of you who are facing this problem, will find this solution very useful and will make most out of Wordpress scheduling feature.
