This plugin will publish all the future/scheduled post missed by WordPress cron. It will check it every 15min and publish 20 posts at a time.
its really smart idea. works well thanks.
After i activate this plugin, all my scheduled posts was deleted!
I not sure that this plugin work correctly at this point.
After i uninstalled it, transients and option is always present on database: the uninstall cleaning is not executed.
Do not use this plugin!
Dashboard was telling me i had some plugins to update on my site. After i installed your plugin i no longer got notification about plugins needing updates. Nothing else changed. When disable your plugin all work fine.
I have tried this plugin on ly local personal blog, but after activated my database was corrupted and all my data lost forever! !!
Stay away from this plugin, really, and stay away from other plugins of this authors.
IMHO.
Checking interval could be adjustable, but in general it does what is says (every 15minutes).
