   I am a long time WP user (5 years!), who has designed a few WP blogs.

   Right now I am working on a major project that relies heavily on being able to schedule posts.

   On my own blog (http://www.bethmaher.com/blog) running 2.8 on a shared GoDaddy server (of all things) I am able to do this, with no issues.

   On a dedicated server I am running 2.8 on (http://www.mymilliondollarmovie.com/blog) I am not able to at all, no matter what I do (and believe me I have tried pretty much everything). I keeping getting the dreaded orange "missed schedule" warning.

   Things I have tried:

   - Using the 2.6 Cron files
   - Editing out certain lines in the 2.8 Cron files
   - Making all my permissions 777
   - Using the "Mia's" plugin
   - Testing the "get" (it gets, but it still doesn't fix my problem)
   - Combinations of the above

   All to no avail.

   Obviously, I'm beginning to think this has to be some kind of server issue.

   I haven't tried anything server side with "curls?" because I have no idea what that is. I don't use anything terminal/php/code related if I can help it. I just don't know enough about what I'm doing there. It's beyond me.

   It is a dedicated server though, so I should be able to have access to pretty much any and everything.

   But I'm a designer, not an engineer, damnit! Uploading WP onto a domain from FTP, and naming a database are pretty much my limits where that's concerned.

   Could anyone help me out!?!? Walk me through this? Pretty Please!?

   This has been giving me a headache all day!

   Same problem here, I upgraded to 2.8.1 and I thought it will solve the problem but still it doesn't, I'm also under a xeon dedicated server with 8GB Ram, running Linux CentOS.

   I have solved to the problem of missed scheduled:

   - First I recognized that wordpress 2,8 is much more slow, is a fact.
   - Then I stopped looking for an error of programming. I started to find an excessive delay.
   - Then, reading, I discovered that schedule post was not a problem of WordPress 2,8 it is a symptom of a slow system.
   - Finally I found it the solution here: http://lists.automattic.com/pipermail/wp-trac/2009-January/038071.html and consists of modifying the timeout in wp-includes/cron.php.
   Approximately in the line number 205 I changed
   wp_remote_post ($cron_url, Array (' timeout' => 0.01, ' blocking' => false));

   To 20 seconds:

   wp_remote_post ($cron_url, Array (' timeout' => 20, ' blocking' => false));

   Lamentably I have not get to scheduled post work nex to Hyper Cache (they only works together in WP 2,6) reason why you must to disconnect that plugin to see working scheduled post.
   It's work for me. I hope help you.
