 * Oh I think I understand. Another plugin is interfering. They were probably published
   the same day, but the other pluging delayed them. I will deactivate it and put
   your settings. Thanks !

 * also maybe it’s easier if I explain what I would like : 2 posts, published every
   day, at a random time between 7am and 7pm.

 * Hi ! Thanks for your answer.
 * Yes I did, and it works fine. the debug info shows 2 results, but they are scheduled
   on different days :

 * The first one was scheduled to tomorrow (there was already one post scheduled
   for today), the next one to Wed.
 *  What I don’t understand very clearly is how it’s deciding of the period to use
   to publish. The 3-5 hours defines when the scheduler will run, but is it also
   the period when it should publish ? Or is it only using the period of the day
   that is set in the other setting ?
