Recently when Wordpress 2.9 was released, we upgraded all our blogs to this version but after some time on some of the blogs we noticed that the articles which we have scheduled are not getting published.

After sometime we realized that it is a Wordpress 2.9 bug which has some problem in the code related to the cron jobs, but there is a very easy solution to this problem. As you can fix this problem by fixing a value in cron.php file.

Lets discuss how can we fix this issue, changing the value in cron.php

Fix:

1. Connect to your blog files through ftp and find the file cron.php in wp-includes folder, download the file to your computer

Note: Make sure you back up the original file before editing. 

2. Edit the line number 229 in cron.php file available in wp-includes folder.

3. Look for the code

wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 0.01, ‘blocking’ => false, ’sslverify’ => apply_filters(‘https_local_ssl_verify’, true)) );

4. Change the timeout value in the above code

‘timeout’ => 10

5. So that the file code looks like as given below

wp_remote_post( $cron_url, array(‘timeout’ => 10, ‘blocking’ => false, ’sslverify’ => apply_filters(‘https_local_ssl_verify’, true)) );

6. Upload the new file with edited value of timeout

[ Fixed ] Wordpress Missed Schedule Problem In Wordpress 2.9 For Scheduled Articles is a post from TroubleFixers - All about fixing computer troubles

Last night I got a mail from one our reader named Puneet who has just started a Wordpress blog and he is not familiar with Wordpress functions in the depth right now, so he need a little help regarding the Wordpress editor where he writes his post on for his blog.

This are the actual problem he described to us in his mail, he said

When ever I login to Wordpress dashboard then I navigate to make a new post I see the editor size quite small so I resize it as per my needs but when I log in back after some time, I again need to resize it – the editor size does not remain intact

This is quite simple and easy to solve problem for people who are using Wordpress from a long time, but for new users of Wordpress like Puneet it could be difficult to guess how to solve it.

This is the first time we are discussing a Wordpress related problem here at TroubleFixers, so from now on we will start answering your questions related to Wordpress also. Let’s discuss how to solve this problem.

Fix:

By default in Wordpress, the editor size or the post box in other words is adequate to display 30 lines of text, so if you want to see a bigger post box you just need to increase the number of lines to 60 or more.

Follow the procedure below to increase the size of post box in Wordpress

1. Login to you Wordpress dashboard and then navigate to Settings >> Writing [ irrespective of what ever Wordpress version installed on your server path will remain the same ]

2. There you will see the first option which says something like size of the post box [ 30 ]

{ as show in the image below }

2. Now click the Save Settings button at the end of the page, that’s it you will now see the larger post box Wordpress editor always when you log in.
