Nice plugin
by khelian·3 years ago

It really works like I imagined it! Thank you guys! Well done!

Works Perfectly!
by jeromyk·3 years ago

If you notice any “Schedule Events are Late” sort of message from WordPress Dashboard > Tools > Site Health check, install this plug-in, then navigate to your home screen. That is all it takes to clear that error message and publish events.

Super plug-in.

solved my issue
by doradosystems·4 years ago

jetpack_scan_refresh_states_event, is late to run

In sitehealth that issue was permanent and after installing and activated this puluggin, the issue dissapeared and got the final checkmark from sitehealth..

Very well!

Everything runs smoothly here.

Thanks!

Essential for me – but shouldn’t be needed
by wordpressghoul·5 years ago

I often set Posts to publish at midnight, so they occasionally get missed.

This plugin is a superb solution, kudos to the developer it works with perfectly with no effort needed after installing.

Really though WordPress should handle this without an extra plugin.

The plugin saved my life. Great. Thank you.

My scheduled posts were blocked after trying the “Auto Post Scheduler” plugin. I uninstalled the plugin “Auto Post Scheduler” but my planned publications remained unpublished. I was very happy to find the “Scheduled Post Trigger” plugin to solve my problem. Thank you so much.
