wordpress - wp cron plugin screwed

**kektex** · 11-11-2005, 06:56 AM

Hmm that worries me, I installed that last night for the future pings thing.
The thing doesn`t even have a simple readme.I just dropped the cron file and the ping one in the plugin directory and activated them both.Dunno if that`s gonna work.

yes thats the way u gotta do it, it should work.
It worked for me too at first, but now its fucked up, i dont know why... trying to find it out.

NOTHING worked.
Tried every point they have on this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble
Every thread on the WP support forum with simlar problems doesnt have an answer that works. Im fucking clueless...

OUch, I'm asking a very knowledgeable friend of mine about that, see if they have a fix for it. I'm sure someone's fixed it by now but just too lazy to post on the WP boards.

:/

Did you download WP-Cron 1.4 14 ? http://www.skippy.net/blog/category/...ugins/wp-cron/
http://www.skippy.net/download/plugi...p-cron-1.4.zip

Also check the user notes http://www.skippy.net/blog/2005/05/26/plugin-wp-cron/

I'm not sure why you want to ping every 15 mins most people ping hourly or daily. There is a lot of info on cron jobs also on wordpress.org

Oh also http://search.wordpress.org/future+ping A lot of info there. It's fun to learn this you got to admit. Once you get it all going on you will really enjoy the plugins etc that are offered with wordpress. Good luck guys!

ive got the wp cron version 1.4
with wordpress version 1.5.2

It seems form the user comments that at some blogs its working right but others it doesnt. The creator does say it doesnt work perfect, so i think i might get another plugin for future pings, this kind of screwed my blog admin up.

By the way a few hours ago i set the wp cron reminder plugin on again to test it after i made some changes... i got 400 60 minute reminders in just a few hours! lol... its clear it really doesnt work in my blog.
Thanks for your suggestions, and im gonna try to find a different future ping plugin.

I'll see if I can find one that's better..Or maybe get a friend to write a plugin just for this and then I'll share it with you. I'll bookmark this thread and get back with you.

nico-t are you trying to set this up for one blog or do you plan to build a blog farm anytime soon?

**nastynun** · 11-11-2005, 04:55 PM

A lot of us are total wordpress geeks I swear LOL. We spend a lot of time working with plugins when you run NON SPAM blogs its good to have plugins they can do a lot of work load for you.

We have also learned to hack the living hell out of base templates. So we hacked the fuck out of a simple template and turned them into nice fancy ones for our needs. Its really easy if you do hack them make sure to call up the header tag in the header.php
<?php wp_head(); ?>
right above </HEAD>

and for footer.php
. <?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
I'm telling you this because with some of the plugins they where not being called up when we had hacked the templates. It was because we where missing the wordpress code above. (this falls under the duh factor) lol.

Oh I found this today for those who write their post ahead of time. Niffty little plugin.
allow administrators to view future posts just like current ones

im planning to build several blogs mostly for SE traffic, got one done for that and its doing good (got also another blog but that ones not for this plan)
Thats why i want this plugin to work properly; i wanna put up 30+ posts in one day for each month so i can cover monthly posts for several blogs in one or two days. Thats why i want this ping thing to work, i dont want 30 posts getting pinged at once when they arent even on my blog yet.

by the way, i dont know if the problem ive got with the dashboard page not working and the login page constantly refreshing is actually linked to the wpcron plugin. I deleted all the wp cron plugins and it still had the same problems.
Then again when i had put up the wp cron plugins a few days ago these problems started, so i dont know what to think about the link between the plugins and the problems im getting.. All i know is that another blog i got (without plugins) is running fine for about 9 months now on the same server
