Glad you've not had any problems with 2.9! I'd have expected the later versions to show up this problem more as they get more and more complex… but obviously not :)

Hopefully you'll never come across this, but if you do, you know where to find me.

I had this problem with 2.7.1. I ended up having to revert to an earlier version until the next version was released. I had to do this not only for myself, but all my clients who like to schedule posts…

Fortunately, I haven't experienced any problems with 2.9.

Going to keep this post in mind tho… just in case! haha

Thanks Hayley – it's definitely fixed the problem for me; this morning's scheduled post went live as normal.

I hasten to add that I only found the fix, I didn't come up with it myself. I've edited the post to make that a bit clearer! Having said that… I'm happy to have helped you find the solution too.

Was really annoyed to wake up from a 15hr sleep with all my posts still queued. Never had that before. Thanks to your fix it looks lke it solved.

Thanks for the help mate. I schudule 50% of the posts on my site and I was devastated when I saw a number of them being missed this morning. Sucks that we have to deal with slow shared servers.
