Stops working after a few days

    Recently migrated servers and since then the plugin is failing to work reliably. Worked fine before, and nothing has changed other than our host, so I’m trying to hone in on what is failing exactly.

    If I disconnect the profile, then reconnect things the plugin will work for a few days, automatically posting our scheduled posts. But after three tries and unhooking and rehooking things up, it stops workign on about the 3rd day. Nothing appears in the buffer queue, even when everything is checked and working. If I enable “buffer on update” and re-save a post it goes through fine. So something is failing on the auto published posts after a few days. I’m wondering if it’s CRON related, as we’re having to use the WP-ALTERNATE CRON on the new server. The developer doesn’t seem to think it is, so I’m at a bit of a loss trouble shooting. ANyone else have this issue?

    You’ve identified the problems right there:
    1. A change of server (and therefore some configuration option at server level),
    2. WP-Cron not working correctly.

    Check through the support threads on this forum for WP to Buffer, and you’ll spot a trend – users complaining that the plugin doesn’t reliably post statuses on publish when posts are scheduled.

    You shouldn’t need to be using alternative cron plugins to get this working – once you get the default, in built WP Cron working, you’ll find WP to Buffer works just fine.
