Same function is called by cron, which I have set up.</p> <p>Cron is running as I have set an email on it.<br /> I have also set multiple email in main function, but when I manuaaly take backup I got all mails but when function is run through cron I got no emails which are inside that function. So I am not able to debug where cron fails to run my backup function as it is working very fine manually.</p> <p>Please help me.<br /> Thank you. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/232101#post-1263180 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 13:37:05 +0000 flyingkites 1263180@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>My problem was far easier to work out.</p> <p>I had the site in Maintenance Mode. And apparently wp-cron stops running in maintenance mode! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/318571#post-1252357 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:34:29 +0000 freemarconi 1252357@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I too wanted to be able to do this, but couldn't find anything. So I went to making my own plugin, despite having extremely limited PHP programming skills. Below is what I finally came up with that seems to work. Sorry for the length, I commented it heavily so you could see what I was doing. Like I said, I don't know much about programming, so I apologize for the likely numerous bad practices - it also has no admin screen functionality so you're stuck with editing the code itself to get what you want. When you're done, save it to a php file and stick it in your plugins folder. Upon activation, it should create any posts from the uri you put in, and setup an hourly scheduled event to look for future posts. That's all! I can't guarantee it will work for you, and probably can't help you if it doesn't lol. But hopefully it will at least start you out.</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* * Plugin Name: XML to Wordpress Posts * Description: Creates posts automatically from an XML feed. * Author: Terry Hart * Plugin URI: <a href="http://www.freemarconi.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.freemarconi.com</a> * Version: 1.0 * ======================================================================= */ /* The following code is probably not very pretty or efficient, but it&#39;s working * for me so far.

The XML feed will be updated regularly and so I imagine we will set up an hourly cron job to do an import of any new records or changes. </p> <p>I am looking for advice from anyone who has set up something similar for WordPress.

From what I understand, this got “broken” with WP 2.7. We’re now on WP 2.8.4(!) and this documented bug remains unresolved.</p> <p>I’m planning to install the plugin below from 5ubliminal to see if that resolves it.</p> <p><a href="http://blog.5ubliminal.com/posts/missed-schedule-future-posts-scheduled-mias-wordpress-plugin/">“Missed Schedule” Future Posts - Scheduled M.I.A.s Wordpress Plugin 5ubliminal’s 5pace</a></p> <p>Apart from that, backrevving or editing your cron stuff (which I’m not comfortable doing) appears to be the only way out until Automattic gets their act together and starts listening to users. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/221086/page/3#post-1196536 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:18:11 +0000 vijaay3d 1196536@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,<br /> I've have a external program which dumps value into "wp_post" and "wp_term_relationships" table with<br /> "wp_post"."post_status" field as "future"<br /> "wp_post"."post_date and" "wp_post"."post_date_gmt" with a scheduled date.</p> <p>Scheduler is working fine when i do new post using admin panel, but does work when i do from external program? It get missed. but when i edit and update the post with it works. </p> <p>Any one tried creating post from external program? do i need to store post value to any where else other that "wp_post" table? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/221086/page/3#post-1195826 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:39:39 +0000 Urosino 1195826@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Beside that cron is no longer working properly, I assume it's causing WP load slow, especially first page load.</p> <p>Any possible solutions guys, beside those posted. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/295297#post-1181068 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:57:46 +0000 robfelty 1181068@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Paul.fox,</p> <p>That is really strange. Do you normally have to have execute permissions on php files on your server? Are you using wget? That should make a normal request through your webserver (and should work from any server actually). It sounds to me like you are running the script from the command line version of php.</p> <p>Rob </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301970#post-1179275 Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:29:19 +0000 rajasekharan 1179275@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am trying to get wordpress to call a function called "wpr_cronjob" every hour in my plugin. So I registered a activation hook and in the book I call the following function:</p> <p>wp_schedule_event(time(), 'hourly', 'wpr_cronjob');</p> <p>The function is not getting called because every time the function is called, I will receive an email (which I am not). I have set up a cronjob on my linux server to run wp-cron.php every 5 minutes and the function is still not getting called. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?</p> <p>Thanks in advacne,</p> <p>Raj </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/295297#post-1177673 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:05:01 +0000 paul.fox 1177673@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi Rob,</p> <p>Thanks for that, it helped. There was a problem with permissions, I gave the user execute permissions on get_mail.php. This presented another problem for which I found a fix in robfeltyforums, this was to include the following as the first line in get_mail.php</p> <p>#!/usr/bin/php -q </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/301230#post-1176727 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 13:49:54 +0000 kateb 1176727@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have WP installed in a sub folder of my site. I also have a cron job scheduled to run every day which checks for file changes throughout the entire site. For some reason, it registers that all my WP files are changing every day - something like 346 of them! Is this normal? Why would the WP files be changing? I haven't edited any of them or set any for delayed publication. Any clues or answers are much appreciated! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/295297#post-1176254 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:02:48 +0000 robfelty 1176254@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Paul,</p> <p>Try using the following cronjob.
