    Unfortunately, this plugin has a very serious bug and doesnt work.

    Let’s say you create 5 posts
    1) 20 May 00:00
    2) 20 May 00:10
    3) 20 May 00:20
    4) 20 May 00:30
    5) 20 May 00:40

    And you run the scheduler at 20 May 21:15 and you ask to schedule posts RANDOMLY every 0 hours and 5 minutes. You click schedule and nothing is scheduled. Pitty

    I found the same issue. It does work… partially anyway. It doesn’t seem to schedule on days divisible by 10, i.e. the 10th, 20th and 30th of each month so they would have to be scheduled the old-fashioned way. Other than that it seems to work fine.

    Thanks for the comment guys.

    I’ve tested both scenarios and the plugin DOES schedule properly. I’m testing with a slightly modified version, but the scheduling portion wasn’t changed.

    I have 59 posts and scheduled them to post every 13 hours and 2 minutes. Most days I got 2 posts, but sometimes 1 (as 13 hours would do).

    dinko – Be aware that the schedule starts at MIDNIGHT of the day you choose. So if you run it at 20 May 21:15, the posts will start at 20 May 00:00, not at 21:15 – I just ran this test with a future day (23 Oct) and it scheduled properly.

    AlexHigh – be sure that your posting frequency isn’t causing this. You don’t say what your frequency was, but it’s possible that it would skip every 10 days depending on that math.
