“Missed Schedule” Future Posts | Scheduled M.I.A.s Wordpress Plugin

I use a cool piece of C++ software to handle a lot of blogs and publish directly into the databases. I published a bunch of future posts but noticed they won't publish and, when time comes to go live, they just turn Missed Schedule. This really pissed me off. Took a look at the Wordpress code and noticed future posts get assigned a cronjob [ wp_schedule_single_event($unix_time_stamp, 'publish_future_post', array($post_ID)) ] which is downright stupid! Why don't you just look at the database and publish all posts with future status and date in past.

Mist Schedule Posts Examples


I'm not feeling like serializing PHP arrays to schedule cronjobs in C++ to get my post_status = future posts to publish. I had to write a new tool to do this. I got a tool that can post missed schduled posts with one SQL query on countless blogs. But there was a tiny inconvenience. There are a few happenings that happen when post publish happens that were not happeneing for me when I updated status directly into the database. — ;)

I realized I needed a plugin to go along with my tools and I wrote Scheduled MIA-s Wordpress Plugin. Also noticed many others share this same problem and this might be good for them too.

Scheduled MIAs (Missing In Action) Wordpress Plugin

I named the plugin Scheduled MIAs as it bring posts left-for-dead by Wordpress scheduling engine back to life. I suggest you install this on all your blogs. It looks for posts with a date in the past that still have post_status=future. It will take each post_ID and publish (wp_publish_post) it. It actually does Wordpress'es job.

I suggest you install this plugin everywhere. If you have  a lot of blogs you're in deep ... space 9. In the next few days a plugin will be available here for a small fee to do a magic thing. Bulk activation / deactivation of Wordpress plugins on Wordpress Blog Farms and it will help you a lot.

Meanwhile Enjoy this plugin!

    I have a same problem and I can’t find anything to solve it.If this plugin solve.Thank you.

  2. Love it!

  3. +fsudirectory2:2 — #44 says:

    Will the disabling of the cron job also help WPMU resource usage (100s of blogs updating at least once a day)?

    • $@5ubliminal67:361 — #1 says:

      Truth is I’m clueless.
      There are features in Wordpress I have overridden without even split-testing as I want them to work my way.

  4. Thanks. I was looking for such a plug-in but where to get it? There is no link!

  5. +toto1:1 — #110 says:

    that was getting on my nerves !!!
    THANKS !!! It works all fine now, I can post what i want from my iphone without any trouble ! GREAT PLUGIN !

  6. @5ubliminal - ques: when does this plugin get executed? What’s the hook?

    Every hour? Every time a page is called up? …
    Thx!

    • $@5ubliminal72:361 — #1 says:

      Actually on every load. But the SQL query is light … loads only some numbers. Anyways, I think you’re right.
      I’ll change it to check every configurable amount of time.

      Check back in a few hours.

    • $@5ubliminal75:361 — #1 says:

      I updated the script. It should work once every 15 minutes or change the time yourself inside the script.

  7. +Aztec1:2 — #47 says:

    Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to work for me.

    • $@5ubliminal76:361 — #1 says:

      Don’t be shy and detail. Maybe it can be fixed. Make sure you set the delay to 1 minute while testing in the first define.
      What WP version do you use? I only test on 2.7+.

  8. +Aztec2:2 — #47 says:

    I must apologize. This does work.

    I only schedule the post at most 2 minutes later during the test.
    I now confirm it works.
    Brilliant piece of work!
    Very grateful for it.

  9. great plugin
    it works.

  10. Will this publish posts before they are scheduled to be published?

    I only want it to make sure that posts that missed their scheduled post time get published. I do not want to post anything before their scheduled time.

    Please let me know ASAP as I have added the plugin to my blog at http://www.getpaidtobesocial.com and confirmed that it posted my last missed post right away. I am leaving for vacation Friday and I want to pre-schedule a few posts for while I am away.

    • $@5ubliminal78:361 — #1 says:

      It works for me and many other downloaders. Test it locally first … just to be relxed about it.

      Fixed your link ;)

      • Thanks, but that doesn’t really answer my question.

        I wanted to know if the plugin would force my posts that I have scheduled for a few days from now to be published before I wanted them to be.

        It turns out that it does.

        I scheduled a “test post” to be posted 20 minutes from now, and it published it right away. That is not what I want at all. I want to be able to schedule posts and have them posted at the time I scheduled them to be posted.

        Is there a way to do this with wordpress 2.7?

        This plugin is great for missed posts, but it takes away the option of scheduling future posts. That is, unless I’m missing something.

        Is there a way to configure this plugin to only publish posts after their scheduled time has been missed?

        • $@5ubliminal79:361 — #1 says:

          Try it again … 5 minutes delay … but remove this entire line:
          ” ((`post_date` > 0 )&& (`post_date` <= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP())) OR “.

          Let it run using GMT time as test. If it still fails put the line back and remove from the OR to the next with GMT, see which works for you.
          I use WP 2.7.1 and it works.

        • OK, maybe I spoke too soon.

          On my worpress dashboard, when I clicked on the “Schedule” button to schedule my post, I got a message saying that the post was published, with a link that said “view post” beside it. Clicking on the link enabled me to view the post.

          HOWEVER, upon visiting my blog’s homepage, the post was nowhere to be seen. Nor was it available when clicking on my Archives sidebar link. It had NOT been published publicly yet! Upon even further inspection, I noticed that when I clicked on my posts tab in my wordpress dashboard to see the list of my posts, the scheduled post was listed as “scheduled” and not yet published!

          BRAVO! It does work! I take back everything I said in my previous post about this plugin not doing what I wanted it to do!

          It works great! Anyone looking to schedule posts on wordpress 2.7 should have this!

          I believe that if you added this little bit of info to your post or commented it in the plugin code, more people would use this plugin. Look for a trackback or link in a post about this plugin very soon on my blog at http://www.getpaidtobesocial.com/blog .

  11. +spraegs1:1 — #115 says:

    Hi.

    The plugin works great, yet there is a minor caveat that I hope you can help me with?

    Now, the plugin works as advertised and publishes the scheduled posts that had “failed schedule”, and after your plugin was activated, my front page was filled with the posts.

    However, and here is the problem; When I click the links to the blogposts, they return a 404. Eventhough the url is fine, and I can see they are published. In order for me to activate them, I have to go in and “quick edit” a post, click “update”, and then they are activated properly.

    Do you have any idea what missing step is being carried out in the “update” process?

    Cheers and thanks again for the plugin.

    • $@5ubliminal80:361 — #1 says:

      I don’t know if you have other plugins interacting with post publishing. If you do, there could be problems even if I’m not sure why there would be any.

      I publish posts using WP’s internal publishing function and that also calls hooks related to publishing.

      Is it possible that you have left your posts without a slug??? Beats me. Many people use plugins that may do some things in unfriendly ways to other installed plugins. I can’t help there.

  12. +ed1:1 — #116 says:

    works like a charm. Why couldnt wordpress fix this right away?

    Hey man, thanks for the fix. Unfortunately, I’m now getting this error:

    Any ideas?

    • $@5ubliminal109:361 — #1 says:

      Make sure there are no spaces in front and behind the PHP code block.
      Remove all spaces at the front and rear of the PHP file. They cause output and unexplainable alreay-ouput errors.

      • +sbuckingham2:2 — #50 says:

        Turns out it was a combination of problems… The file encoding was the first (wasn’t UTF-8), and the query you’re using was the second… I modified it and posts are now being published!

        Thanks for your help

  16. +donna1:1 — #125 says:

    Thing I’m running into is that the scheduled posts fail but NOT all of the time… but after giving pretty much everything recommended I’m at wits end. Posts have to go up in a certain order since I admin an author’s website. Wish me luck!

    • $@5ubliminal113:361 — #1 says:

      Good luck. But make sure you do some close range tests … justin case.

  17. I can’t see to find the link.

      There is no download link.
      Create a new shcduled-mias.php file in wp-content/plugins folder and paste the code inside.
      Easy!

  18. Hi there, I am not sure if this can help my case …. my posts gets schedueled but never gets posted bec the remaining time to be published continues to increase!!! have no clue why this is happening !!! you plugin can fix that????
    any ideas=??
    thanks
    pls let me knwo asap as this is urgent!

    • $@5ubliminal116:361 — #1 says:

      Try this plugin. I noticed this a while ago on wordpress.com blogs. Maybe you have an old version.
      Give my plugin a try. Tell me how it turns out.

  19. +ryan111:1 — #128 says:

    i am trying right now, is there any setting or just active the plugin then that’s all?

    I can’t find download link, where to download?

    • $@5ubliminal122:361 — #1 says:

      There’s no download link. Copy the code. Paste in a new .php file in the wp-content/plugins/5ubliminal folder.
      Then activate the new plugin.

  21. This sounds like a cool app …. I just bought the Caffeinated Scheduler and use WP 2.7 on most of my sites. Hopefully this works as advertised.

    Didn’t work for me, sad to say. Could it have anything to do with my web host? I’m at Media Temple on their DV.

    Any help appreciated.

    • $@5ubliminal137:361 — #1 says:

      The only possible problem is the GMT settings on your server.
      I really can’t imagine how hosting can affect the way this plugin works.

      I’d say make a test blog, look into the MySQL table and see the actual publish_date and publish_date_GMT fields. Compare to server time: SELECT NOW() or UTC_TIMESTAMP() - for GMT and see how it works.

    Does this work with WordPress 2.81 - anyone tested?

    Also… has anyone figured out WTF Wordpress is doing / why aren’t they fixing this bug?

    I have two blogs at 2.81 with nearly the same plugins yet one can schedule posts and the other cannot.

    • $@5ubliminal165:361 — #1 says:

      This plugin should work on 2.8.1 but I suggest you do a test run first with a post scheduled to publish in a minute or two.

      PS: I don’t think they care about this bug … or those who ‘enjoy’ it.

  31. +catneedshelp1:6 — #16 says:

    I don’t understand this. How do i install this plugin?

  32. +catneedshelp2:6 — #16 says:

    my problem is that when i schedule a post to the future. it VANISHES from my wordpress “Edit Posts” section.
    it never publishes, i also never get a “missed schedule” message.

    However it’s still there. I can navigate to these missing posts by typing in the URL. I just don’t see them after the schedule passes and i don’t see them in my edit posts area.

    This plugin is activated but it did not help.
    Any ideas?

    • I have no idea what your problem may be. Probably another plugin messing you stuff up.
      I’d say … setup a test blog and try my plugin with no others activated. See how it goes.

      • +catneedshelp3:6 — #16 says:

        Tried that/didn’t work either.

        Like i said. My problem is a little different than most of the users that have had success with your plugin.

        After I schedule a post for the future..i can no longer see it on my wordpress backend… it’s just gone from my “edit posts” section all together… when viewing all posts. i should be able to see it there but i can’t… and then obviously it never gets published.

        im running 2.8.3 on a yahoo server… any help would be greatly appreciated… i would even toss some money at a fix.

        • I don’t use WP 2.8.3 yet. I will upgrade to 2.9 directly where they should fix some bugs I need fixed.

          I can’t help you with this but I’m pretty sure it’s a plugin that messes things up.

        • +catneedshelp4:6 — #16 says:

          considering i disabled all plugins… and tried the default theme… and schedule posts still disappear… i don’t think it’s a plugin problem.

          my ALL posts is significantly higher than my PUBLISHED posts but i don’t see the scheduled ones.

          This guy seems to have had the exact problem and solved it but I don’t understand his solution at all.

          http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225997?replies=6

          • Is it an upgrade or fresh install. I have a feeling it’s an upgrade. Something might have cracked inside.

            That guy in the forum says that post_status is inside the mysql table defined as an enum. An enum is a list of possible values that restricts a column to only one of those.
            But he says pending was missing from the list. He edited the field with phpmyadmin probably and added ‘pending’ too and it worked.

            I wouldn’t rely on his solution as the post_status is not an enum and can’t be one. Plugin devs can use custom post_statuses and an enum would not allow them.

            PS: This is not a job for the layman. Better try an export and import on a fresh install of wp 2.8.3 and see if it gets fixed.

        • +catneedshelp5:6 — #16 says:

          well FWIW thanks for the response 5ubliminal… hopefully i can find a fix in a few days!

        • +catneedshelp6:6 — #16 says:

          fresh install and import and re-installing of each plugin one by one works fine. whew!

          lots of my wordpress backend looks different, so there were many broken parts to it.

          thanks

          • Glad it worked :)

            I never auto-update Wordpress. It’s a hand job for me that ensures functionality.
            I test all plugins before upgrading.

  33. +terrydstewart1:6 — #17 says:

    I have not tried this yet as I wanted to see if you think it will help my problem first.

    I am having problems with scheduled posts not always publishing. The cron job appears to happen, but the post fails. The reason I believe the cron job is running is because wp to twitter posts the tweet on twitter even including a link to the new post, but then the post never gets published. It shows schedule missed. It will then precede to retry every minute (including sending out a new tweet) until I catch it and delete the cron job. Again this occurs about 75% of the time. The other 25% it works fine. Each post is my daily digest. I am running on Godaddy’s wordpress hosting. I have upgraded to the most recent wordpress and it still does not work.

    • I’m clueless. I don’t use any plugins written by others.
      But this plugin should help you with the Missed Schedule posts.

      If a plugin is broken … ditch it! It’s so easy.

      • +terrydstewart2:6 — #17 says:

        I’ll give it a try, but it isn’t a plugin that is busted it is the cron job that does not appear to be finishing. I’ll give this a try though and let you know if it worked or not. I won’t know for sure for about 2 to 3 days as I only do one scheduled post a night.

        Terry Stewart

        • Ok. Let me know.

          The cronjob problem is the very cause of the Missed Schedule thing.
          I use this plugin everywhere … There are things in Wordpress I don’t even know how they work as I replaced them myself before ever understanding them.

        • +terrydstewart3:6 — #17 says:

          Well did not fix the problem. My tweet still gets sent, but the post still goes Missed Schedule. The big advantage though is that it does not get stuck in a loop using your plugin. It only tries once so I can go fix it afterwords. Without your plug in it keeps sending the tweet every min. until I catch it. Quite annoying and spamish. So I will continue to use your plugin (Thank you!) even though it does not fix the real problem of my scheduled post not publishing. I will have to take a look at what other plugins you might have once I have everything working correctly.

        • I don’t know. Something else is messing things up as … you can see here … many are happy with this plugin.

          You should disable the Tweet plugin and see if it works without it.

      • +terrydstewart4:6 — #17 says:

        I have now tried it without the tweet plugin and I also disabled the lifestream plugin which is what was creating the scheduled posts. I then created some scheduled posts by hand. Without your plugin only 1 in 4 posts would publish. With your plugin they all seem to publish, however it can take upto 1 hour after the missed time before it publishes. Is that normal? It looked like your plugin created a 15 min delay at max. I would really like to get this working, but can not find the problem. I am thinking something is timing out while trying to publish. Any ideas. Otto at wordpress.org gave me a define to try ==Try adding this to the to defines in your wp-config.php file:
        define(’ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true); == but that appeared to do nothing at all. Your plugin at least seems to eventually publish my hand created scheduled posts. I’ll keep you updated, and if you have any ideas, I can sure use them.

        • Somebody must visit your site to trigger the publishing. It can take hours if no visitor comes by.

        • +terrydstewart5:6 — #17 says:

          I was hitting the site about every 5 min during the tests.

        • +terrydstewart6:6 — #17 says:

          Also final results from my test were 4 out of the 5 using your plugin were published. Test 1, 2, 3, and 5 published while test 4 continued to show missed schedule for more then 2 hours before I finally deleted it.

        • I’m pretty sure some plugins mess things up. If you can … try it on a fresh install (not an update) but a fresh install.

          Test my plugin alone… then enable one plugin at a time and publish posts with a 1 minute future date. Try to find the problem.

          There’s something weird going down. This is the exact reason I write all the plugins I use myself. I don’t have the time to debug others’ code.

    • You’re welcome :)

      My plugin has been mentioned in their support forum again and again.

  43. +gomezhyatt1:1 — #177 says:

    How do you install this script? I’d be glad to donate if I can use this thing.

    • :) Create a new PHP file: 5ubmia.php. Paste the code inside the file and upload it to the blog/wp-content/plugins/ folder using FTP or your cPanel or … I don’t know. Go to the Plugins Manager in your Wordpress Blog Admin, locate the new plugin and enable it.

      Easy huh?

    Well, it publish posts but it want work with twittertools so WP update Twitter with a message about new posts…

    • I’m sorry but your pharse does not make sense … at all.

      PS: I only use the plugins I write. I don’t know those plugins.

      • +darthmmortar2:2 — #73 says:

        Your plugin makes scheduled post published, but it don’t work with twittertools, the WP plugin that sends an update to Twitter about a new post, when posts gets published twittertools don’t update my twitter status. Theirfore something in the publishingsystem don’t work with WP normal publishsystem that works with other plugins.

        • Two thing I can say:
          1. It’s that plugin’s fault. I use the minimum in WP functions and play by Filters/Actions rules.
          2. Try increasing priority from 0 to 11 and see if it helps you [last line of code].

    Thank you so much, works a charm.

    I’m checking it out now (just set it up), but I thought you might want to reconsider banning Google Chrome users from your blog… I think it qualifies as a “real browser” if Opera does.

    I get this ‘fatal’ error when I go to activate it:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/swardraw/public_html/fotog1/wp-content/plugins/mia.php on line 18

    Thanks for the plugin. Too bad though that I had to waste time installing an alternate browser just to view it though. I would have gladly donated in order to obtain it, but figure I just donated 1/2 hour of my time to accomodate your browser snobbery.

    • Oh come one … do you really expect me to fall for the [WOULD HAVE] donating trick again? It’s just soooo cheap!

      Just enjoy it and A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

  56. It’s john from http://www.diysolarpanelsworld.com again… after fiddling with the plugin, I find that it works. But I’ll have to change this line “define(’PLUGIN_SCHEDULEDMIAS_DELAY’, 15);” from 15 to 2. No Idea why…can you explain?

    • The script checks to publish posts every ## minutes. That line is where you set how often it should check to publish posts.
      It may take up to 14 minutes for a post to be published with a 15 value.

  57. 5ubliminal,

    Thank you for this plugin! I was having this problem with Wordpress 2.9.1 I visited several other web pages, but all their fixes sucked. Yours worked first time. You have just gained a loyal subscriber.

    Thank you again,
    ~Jimmy Grippo~

    This is fantastic. Thank you! You seriously just saved me a ton of trouble.

  59. Thanks for the awesome plugin! My missed scheduled posts are now posted with the original “missed” date and my schedule is back on track.

    Thanks!

  60. +internetredactie1:1 — #194 says:

    Thanks VERY much! The missed schedule bug even persisted in 2.9.1 here and your plugin finally solved it. It was about to drive me crazy… ;-)

  61. +sparkz1291:1 — #195 says:

    awesome, works perfectly and solves my publishing issues, Thanks!!

  62. Thx for this plugin. But I have the same problem of +sbuckingham with this error :
    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /wp-content/plugins/mias-planif-manquee.php:1) in /wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 868

    My php file is in UTF-8 and I haven’t space before or after .
    Have an idea ?

  63. +alanuk1:1 — #196 says:

    Thanks for this. I was still having problems with the missed schedule in in WP 2.9.1; this has fixed it.

    Good stuff!

  64. +ebourqui1:2 — #77 says:

    Long-time reader, first-time commenter. This rocks, you just solved a huge headache for me. Many thanks.

  65. +Dingosbaby1:1 — #200 says:

    As usual, a google search for my coding / wordpress issue has returned you as an authority, and solved my issue.

    As a customer of elWpApi I thank you for all your hard work!

    Could not activate:

    Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_OLD_FUNCTION’ or `T_FUNCTION’ or `T_VAR’ or `’}” in e:\dramatic-insights.org\wwwroot\west-of-the-gospel\wp-content\plugins\scheduled-mias.php on line 16

  73. Create a new PHP file. Name it scheduled-mias.php.
    Copy the code and paste it in the PHP file.
    Save and upload to wp-content/plugins folder :)

    PS: Copy code by clicking Show Copy/Paste Version.

  74. +snfalgoust1:2 — #78 says:

    I tried enabling the plugin from WP Blog Admin, but it still doesn’t work. I am trying to add the code, but I have no idea where the cPanel is, I can’t locate the Plugins Manager, and can’t find the wp-content/plugins folder…help…. :o(

  75. This only works on blogs you host yourself.
    And if you would host yourself you would know what these are.
    But as you don’t … I can’t help you with this.
    It’s like you are trying to read but have no clue what letters are.

  76. +snfalgoust2:2 — #78 says:

    That’s what I figured…I was just hoping there was another way around it. I have a website I can host a blog, but this blog is for my college class so I’m not adding it to my website…just using the free version. Thank you for replying back! I read a comment on here to just copy/past my info from the “scheduled” to be posted page and created a new page so I could “publish” immediately. It’s not the best solution, but it works. However, I will send your info on for our school district since we host blogs on WordPress. :o)
