# Debugging wp-cron.php

 * As everyone knows, scheduled posts in WP2.5 don’t actually post. In other words,
   scheduling doesn’t work.
 * I read one thread that discussed running wp-cron.php with an hourly schedule.
   That doesn’t work either. In fact, opening the page “[http://myblog.com/wp-cron.php&#8221](http://myblog.com/wp-cron.php&#8221);
   also doesn’t work.
 * I decided to dig into wp-cron.php to find out what was wrong. I found that the
   code doesn’t think there are any scheduled posts.
 * This function (below) returns an empty array. Does anyone have a workaround for
   this php code?
 *  $crons = _get_cron_array();
