Post scheduling

[edward]

Just wondering if there's a way to set posts to 'scheduled' rather than posting all at once?

I set a date 4 months out under step 3/Randomly select a date...

But it just posted in 'published' under that date.

Thanks!

When importing ads, setting the date anytime in the future automatically creates scheduled posts. For example, yuo import 100,000 records on October 20th, 2009 and spread the import from 1/1/2008 to 1/1/2011, the posts will equally spread over that time, and the posts forward of the import date go in as scheduled posts. They will appear on the dates they are schedule for, which is randomly assigned and balanced between the start/end date at import.

This is not a bug. Having a post be "published" with a future date is the same as scheduling it. We do this instead of setting a post as "future" to avoid slowing down the site with WordPress's psuedo-cron having to check for future posts to be changed to published. On a site with tens of thousands of posts this would be problematic and slow, hence we've worked around it.

When Feb 19, 2010 comes, your post will appear on the site.

yeah ive got a few sites right now that I am having to do daily updates on because the feature is bugged atm. Kinda sucks I didn't figure it out until this week that it didn't work.

[GrinningFool]

I am having the same thing myself! Any idea when it is going to be fixed.

[ryan]

We'll have a new release tonight that includes a fix for this issue.

Thanks.

This issue has been corrected in v3.0.6 which is now available on the member download page (http://reviewpluginforwordpress.com/manage_license/)

Its not fixed yet. Posts do schedule and look like they are fixed. But when it comes time for them to post they never do. Wordpress gives an error when I look at the posts that says "Missed Scheduled" and it never posts. I have to edit the post and then update it for it to post to my site.

The "missed schedule" problem is actually a problem in WordPress that has existed since approx version 2.5. I run into the same problem on my local server, but never on my shared hosting account that I use for testing.

There are several threads and blog posts which offer solutions with varying success:
