Thank you so much abletec! That worked and my test post posted as scheduled.

To think, I was about to hire someone to help me out…

Thanks Abletec – it’s definitely a bit overwhelming. I disabled the cache program I was using, scheduled a test post and still no go. Also, my timezone is correct.

I found the cron.php file as well as the area to add Cron Jobs in my c-panel (I use bluehost currently.) Do I have to modify the cron.php file to add manual cron jobs? Also, I need to enter a command … I been doing some poking around and found a site that recommends this command:

*/5 * * * * wget -q -O – “http://mydomain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=date +\%s” > /dev/null 2>&1

I think that means every 5 minutes run wp_cron – do I need to put that all in when Bluehost’s options offer drop down menus of time increments?

My site receives a few hundred visitors every day. Does the traffic need to be at the exact same time the post is scheduled to go live?
