After upgrading to version 2.9 of WordPress, I realized that the posts that I scheduled will have miss schedule issue. Lucky because there is a temporary fix for this issue.

By using ‘Miss In Action‘ plugin, you do not need to worry about miss schedule anymore because this plugin will make sure that your post is published at the same time with the schedule.

Another way is by going to your WordPress installation folder and go to wp-includes/cron.php.

Change the 0.01 from the code below to 1.

wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 0.01, ‘blocking’ => false, ’sslverify’ => apply_filters(‘https_local_ssl_verify’, true)) );

I hope WordPress is finding solution for the permanent fix of this issue.
