 * For the last two weeks I’ve had posts that I have schedule for certain times 
   and they have both “missed” the time. From what I can tell, everything is set
   up fine. I haven’t changed anything on the blog at all.
    I was having trouble
   with Jetpack and things weren’t working with it, but it all seems good now.

 * – for any cron issue, check out this plugin and see if it will work for you:

 * – also discuss this issue with your hosting provider

 * I have read all the posts on this and from what I can tell, that plugin doesn’t
   work. Why would the scheduling just stop working. It has been working fine for
   months?
 * Also, why would this have anything to do with my hosting provider? What should
   I be asking them then?
 * My husband is a programmer and said the problem is, really, that the wordpress
   software is developed in the biggest piece of crap language ever invented. That
   is really your problem, and no doubt has lots of silent failures that you have
   no idea are even there.

 * I can share my personal experience with this software, that is, I schedule my
   posts on my personal blog in advance (since 2008!), and I never had any problem!

 * I’m just a volunteer here in these forums.

 * Well, I’ve never had a problem before either, until last Wednesday night and 
   last night.
    So why would it stop working. That is the question I want answered.
   I’ve installed no new plugins. I can post others just fine, I just press publish
   and it works. From what I’ve been reading in the forums it seems like it is a
   problem that just suddenly starts happening to people.
 * So basically you are a volunteer, have given me the party line, can’t really 
   help, so I am stuffed. Thanks for trying, but it seems like this is an ongoing
   issue that has never been resolved.

 * Hi
 * There is a plugin that can fix this called the WP missed Schedule here: [https://github.com/sLaNGjI/wp-missed-schedule](https://github.com/sLaNGjI/wp-missed-schedule)

 * So I tried the WP plugin for scheduling posts, it missed it again, and published
   it 4 and half hours later. This is getting ridiculous. There is obviously a problem
   here, why isn’t anyone looking into it.
