WP plugin to ping on postdated entries?
 

Anybody know where I can find something like this?

Thanks.

post on wordpress.org

thats all i can think of. maybe someone can whip one up for you there.

wp-cron-future-pings: suppresses the default ping and trackback action when you post a new item dated in the future. Then (roughly) every 15 minutes the plugin checks to see if any future-dated posts are now visible to readers. If they are, the pings and trackbacks are sent

Great - thanks

The random post plugin is good as well

I'll check it out. Thanks :)

Run the wp-reminder part of this as well to check that the cron is running.

I had this working on my old host, but I have tried to set- it up on my new host and the the cron is generating reminders every 60 seconds. It was OK for the first hour or so then it went ape shit. I woke up the next day and had thousands of reminder emails.

I haven't had a chance to look in to it properly yet, just switched it back off.

Oh yeah the future ping part didn't work either. It is not clear from the write up on skippy whether he has this working fully or not.

By default, wp-cron-mail executes roughly every fifteen minutes. If you?d like to change this to run roughly once per hour, change line 14 from:
add_action('wp_cron_15', 'wp_cron_mail');
to
add_action('wp_cron_hourly', 'wp_cron_mail');

If you only want once per day, change hourly to daily in the line above.

Hope that helps! :) :thumbsup

I'll take a look at the links but the version I got ran every 15 and 60 mins out of the box. Or was supposed to anyway :) I will take a closer look at it though. Thanks.

Just had a quick look at that link. belloq had the same problem as me. I'll take a look at the code and see what's in mine. Thanks again.
