Scheduled Post in Blog is not creating post in Forum

Hi,

I have set up the feature to post my blog post to the Forum. It works if I publish immediately, but not if it is scheduled in the future. I have double checked that the boxes are still checked to post after I have clicked schedule.

Thanks,

Diane

Hey Diane,

A nice and simple first check - What timezone is your server / WordPress install running on?

I have been running some tests over the last hour and I am afraid I can not replicate any such problem.

SP picks up the 'message' that the post has finally been published from the standard WordPress 'hooks'. Are you aware of any plugins you might have active that might effect the working of the 'post published' hook?

Ok. I just had a chance to contact Godaddy and my server is in MST. And they never change. I'm now in MDT. I was posting the post at 00:01 MDT. This would be an hour earlier on the server the day before. I could try posting it at01:01 instead to get them both on the same day. Do you think this might be an issue?

Thanks

Ok. I changed the time to 01:01. It did post correctly on Saturday. But it did not on Sunday. I scheduled the post and scrolled down and made sure that the Post to Simple Press Forum was check. It was. But, it did not create the post and topic.

The strange thing is it is working intermittently, and I can't figure out the variable.

Thanks,

Diane

Let's just confirm here - I think you are you saying that it did not create the blog post either? Is that correct? Because that I can almost create on demand and is not, I fear, an uncommon problem. So is this the case?

then the time of day wont have anything to do with it I think... the key is for the wp cron to run... if its creating the blog post, then it ran... and there is no longer any time dependency... wp just fires its hook for us and we do our thing... a bit confused as to how it would be 'random'...

in both tests, was a forum for the blog post selected when scheduling the wp post?

Yes. I only have one Forum set up. I scroll down, click on the two buttons. Create and update. The Journal name is defaulted.

I then clicked schedule and scrolled down to see if it was still checked, and it was.
