Last Updated on 2021-10-21 by Clay

The WordPress editor allows user to choose when the publish an article. For a long time, if I might not be able to update the article in the next few days, I will write it first when time permits. Articles to be published, and use scheduled publishing to update daily.

Of course, sometimes I find I haven’t learned anything worthy of record in the past few days.

Today morning, when I accidentally confirmed whether my scheduled article was published on the website as scheduled, I was surprised to find that the article was not published on time.

I hurriedly went to the backend to check, but found that the scheduled article displayed a message: “Missed Schedule”.

This problem may be caused by the settings of the server, of course, it may also be cause by the server ju not responding when receiving the schedule setting.

Basically, to make the schedule work normally, we have two methods:

  • Install a plugin to solve it (SchedulePress)
  • Add define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true); command into wp-config.php file.


Method 1: Install SchedulePress
