• First of all thank you for this great plugin, its really usefull if you know how to handle it – as I did some experiments the last maybe it can help other users.

    I opened several support-ticket, but I never got an answer.
    So I hope I get some answers for more understanding here:

    Suggestions: As obviously a lot of problems rely on the cronejob, please give us an advice where to find better instructions – the one on your website causes problems, see below.

    1. The main issue for now is wp-cron & Reposting-Function – it creates more posts than it should.

    This is my cronjob – I followed your instruction.

    #!/bin/sh
    curl -s -H “User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64)” https://berufebilder.de/wp-cron.php?doing_wp > /dev/null 2>&1

    (actually your original suggestion sent an email everytime the cronjob was executed, so I was nearly blocked by my webhoster)

    2. Reposting just works more less with immediately posting-settings – but what about delaying posts?

    Reposting works, but mainly when settings are set to use wp-cron, it posts more than one article, not the same, just the next article in the query – everytime the cronejob is executed one post.

    Thats why I put the settings on immediately.
    But still, when I set the cronejob on 2 Minutes, as you reccomendet, it posts to twitter every 2 minutes. To xing for example not.

    Should it be like that?

    I would also like to delay posting for certain networks and set a cronjob, as you recommended, more often, but I can only set it to 2 hours now.

    3. Importing Comments just work halfways

    Is there a way to manually execute the comment importing for a post? Thats a very important feature.

    The importing-comments function uses the cronejob too. I set it on 1000 Comments, but it just queries only a few comments and everytime the function works they are the same comments – so it looks like:

    [2017-11-11 12:46:01] – [Comments Import] [ALL] – Checking for new comments now… Array ( [0] => 30028 [1] => 8077 [2] => 44284 [3] => 33150 [4] => 7617 [5] => 30225 [6] => 51926 [7] => 33589 [8] => 29055 [9] => 7764 [10] => 30081 [11] => 40676 [12] => 51437 [13] => 29569 [14] => 2699 [15] => 226 [16] => 33602 [17] => 31211 [18] => 7804 [19] => 8825 [20] => 49796 [21] => 52817 [22] => 28418 [23] => 9041 [24] => 7773 [25] => 51680 [26] => 9650 [27] => 43032 [28] => 123 [29] => 38216 [30] => 5751 [31] => 36816 [32] => 30839 [33] => 47826 [34] => 51818 [35] => 36594 [36] => 46038 [37] => 9344 [38] => 7855 [39] => 29612 [40] => 51393 [41] => 29543 [42] => 40672 [43] => 32101 [44] => 42539 [45] => 30005 [46] => 5598 [47] => 6927 [48] => 30304 [49] => 39526 [50] => 45196 [51] => 32071 [52] => 5708 [53] => 6772 [54] => 30531 [55] => 42601 [56] => 51615 [57] => 33533 [58] => 32193 [59] => 32239 [60] => 27734 [61] => 33007 [62] => 27911 [63] => 698 [64] => 5201 [65] => 32589 [66] => 32085 [67] => 34126 [68] => 32095 [69] => 33512 [70] => 31521 [71] => 31386 [72] => 5857 [73] => 28283 [74] => 36 [75] => 43892 [76] => 51853 [77] => 33873 [78] => 7435 [79] => 29076 [80] => 5115 [81] => 32597 [82] => 64306 [83] => 2427 [84] => 29098 [85] => 27875 [86] => 64237 [87] => 64284 )

    4. Autoposting dosn’t work anymore

    I also get sometimes missed-schedule announcements for publishing posts and I use the plugin missed schedule, this works – but autoposting works only when I publish posts manually without scheduling them. In Version 3 it still worked.

    5. Quickposting & Pinterest
    Is there a way to tell the quickposting function to use the first image of a post for a pinterest post?

    Thank for your help.

    1-3. It sounds like all your issues are related to WP Cron.
    Please go to the Help/Support tab and check only “All Cron Events” checkbox.

    You should see ONLY crons executed from Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) every one or two minutes. If you see “WordPress/4.8.3” or irregular intervals, your cron is not set correctly.

    This post has been held for moderation by our automated system. It will be reviewed within 72 hours.

    Thank you for the answer.
    I had to remove the urls to get posted and maybe this comment will appear twice, so sorry.

    If I just could import the comments manually – e.g. for the last published posts – it would resolve this problem for me.
    Why does it import some comments and then stop?

    1. WP-Cron Output

    The Cron seems to work without errors as the logfile shows, it executed punctually.
    The Logfile & the All Cron Events Tabs shows what you can see below – the Warning comes because I had to add
    > /dev/null 2>&1 to the wp-cron, removing this line dosn’t improve the way its working, everything tested, but the error disapears. Instead I’m spammed with eMails.

    The Logfile:
    [2017-11-12 10:00:01] – [**WARNING. Unhealthy Cron Request**] [ [More info] ] – Too far (7200.17s) from the previous one. Now – 10:00:01 | Previous – 08:00:01| Cron called from 176.28.36.18 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64))

    2. Curl-Testing

    Then I tried the curl-testing you recommended and I get the following below – it shows some problems with some networks, but not all of them – while the problems are with all of them.
    I need some more informations, otherwise my Webhoster (which is Host Europe) will tell me to talk to the plugin-developer and they will not care about it.

    The Curl-Testing-Output:

    Side note to berufebilder: When you post something and it goes into the pending queue, and you keep reposting, over and over again all you do in make sure that your posts go into the spam queue.

    Someone will review the queue and release the post. As I’ve just done. 😉

    @jan Dembowski:
    Thank you very much for the fast reaction and sorry.
    I simply wasn’t sure when it would be reviewed and I couldn’t risk to wait another 72 hours.
    This not being published becaus of using links is in such cases really a problem.

    Sorry again.

    @nextscripts

    When I use the reposter and the option “One by One” in get posts, the custom field for this reposting action, which marks already repostet posts, is not set.
    So I get duplicates now.
    That dosn’t sound like a WP-Cron problem to me, more like a not really working function. When I set random posts, the problem seems not to be there.

    Awaiting your reply what to do next.

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    glad to hear you.
    I have Plugin Version: 4.0.11 [Pro] (One User, Multiple Accounts)
    API Version: 4.0.28 [ID:5380]
    Find the Cron-Tab below.

    Manually importing comments would be great!

    Before I want to ad I have an issue specially with Xing too since version 4 of the Plugin which in my opinion not relies on the wp-cron:
    While I can autopost to all the other networks and Xing Profile at least manually, when I try to post to Xing groups I get this in the posting interface, but nothing in the logfile.
    [XI] Checking….;
    [XI] Logged as:redaktion@berufebilder.de
    [XI] Saved Data is OK;
    [XI] Posting to G

    For reposting xing sometimes works and sometimes dosn’t, nothing in the logfile

    Here the output when I only hit the All cron events checkbox

    Do you need the whole logfile? Because its dificult to post it here because its considered at spam. I could send you an eMail if you get the eMail.

    Thank you

    Please do not post the logs here, it just makes it an unreadable mess.

    BUT! More importantly you wrote this.

    I have Plugin Version: 4.0.11 [Pro] (One User, Multiple Accounts)

    The author cannot support pro users here. They get into trouble when they do that. Please ask for support here.

    For pro or commercial product support please contact the author directly on their site.

    As the author is aware, commercial products are not supported in these forums. As you are their customer I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there.

    So Sorry, I already opened 3 tickets in the nextscripts forum, as I wrote just on the beginning, and I never got an answer. Also for eMails I don’t get an answer.
    Then I realized they are answering here, I don’t know why. Maybe they don’t care about paying clients?

    Plus, as I wrote on the beginning too, maybe my issues may help to resolve the bugs also for other users, so it might be helpfull for the community.

    Sorry, I’m just a desperated user who is willing to pay for better service.

    Thanks for understanding.

    As I’m not allowed to post the logfiles here – if I hit the All cron events tab its repeatingliy this for 150 and more entries with of course different times – I already posted that before:

    When I change the frequency of the crone job more often in several minutes, its this:

    Ok, I opened the following ticket with all informations and I have on the beginning 2 very simple questions like ift its possible to chang the order in the repost- & qickpost screen or how to import comments manually.
    Otherwise I need to find really complicated workaround to deal with that problem.

    So this is the ticket and I hope, sepcially for the first question, for an very soon answer.

    @nextscripts I had to open a second ticket, both are very important.

    In addition to issue I reposted yesterday:
    While reposting no matter what setting I set, also on randomized posts, the custom field which marked that post is already reposted, is not set.

    Thats not a WP-Cron issue!

    In Consequence I get doubles & triples, which is really dangerous because my thousands of followers are not happy about that.

    The real problem is, that I’m testing & testing, it works, than I think its fine – and then things like today happen while you said you fixed the problem.

    I know its hard for you, but I skipped a hollyday an wake up at night 3 pm to make this work as you promissed – and it dosn’t work.

    Is there a way to get back to version 3?

    Thank you
