Then it sounds likely that your WP cron is possibly at fault. An easy way to test this is to write a blog post but set it to be published in the future by, say, 5 minutes and then wait and see if it gets published. If it does not your cron is broken.
If its does get published it might just be that the SP cron tasks have failed to be scheduled. The easiest way to correct this is to deactivate the Simple:Press plugin (NOT Unintsall - just deactivate) and then immediately reactivate it again. That will usually re-start the cron tasks again unless it is broken in WP already.

Yep, seems the WP Cron is broken. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've installed WP Cron Control and WP Crontrol and nothing has changed
Update: If it helps I get this error coming up when checking the Crontrol via WP:
There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron jobs on your site may not work. The problem was: Failure when receiving data from the peer
I've contacted my hosting company to see if there is anything there side of things and I've added:
define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true);
to my wp-config.php file to override anything that might be set on my server, but I'm still receiving that error.
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
you will have to consult the wordpress.org support forums for help with the wp cron - unfortunately, you wont be alone... more than a couple topics on it...
if you want, you can force the stats to be run on every page load... in you spHead.php template file of your sp theme you are using, you can add this near the top
do_action('sph_stats_cron');
of course, running the stats on every page load will take more resources than the way we cache it, but it will get it populated and shoudnt be a big load on your server...

Thanks Mr Papa! Great advice. I do want to fix it site wide as my posts are missing their schedule as well, so I'll be trawling the wordpress.org forums for a solution and have also asked my hosting if there is anything they can do their end. Fingers crossed it will be fixed shortly
Thanks again to you and Yellow Swordfish for all your help
