WordPress uses a technology called cron or WordPress cron to automatically publish the post at the correct time. If your hosting environment or plugins used are affecting the cron jobs, then it will cause WordPress to miss some scheduled tasks to publish the posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How To Fix This Issue?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First important thing is to install a <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/missed-scheduled-posts-publisher\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"color:#026590\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Missed Scheduled Post Publisher<\/span><\/a> plugin in your WordPress. There are no settings needed for you to configure for this plugin to work. This plugin checks every 15 minutes on your website to see if any scheduled posts in cron have missed the scheduled time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it finds any missed scheduled item there, it will change the status from scheduled to published. This plugin will not create any impact on WordPress site speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Troubleshooting Missed Schedule Post Error in WordPress :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">1.

Sometimes users forget to set the time zone and it will leads to use other different time zone for wordpress and it will create missed schedule error for posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set your correct time zone in the WordPress dashboard by simply goes to &#8220;Settings &#8211;&gt; General page&#8221; and scroll down the Timezone option and from there you can choose the required timezone for you. Don&#8217;t forget to &#8220;Save Changes&#8221; button to save the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">2. Clear the WordPress cache<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the WordPress caching plugin also causes missed scheduled post issues, so we have to check that the WordPress caching plugin is properly configured to clear the cache for your WordPress sites at regular intervals.  If the missed scheduled posts error gets then try to clear your WordPress cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-primary-color\">3.

You can increase the memory limit for WordPress to use more server memory by adding the given line in your &#8220;wp-config.php&#8221; file ;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT','500M');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>We are Managing many WordPress websites for our clients which will cover all the server related issues with your WordPress websites.
