  • Works Perfectly!

    If you notice any "Schedule Events are Late" sort of message from Wordpress Dashboard > Tools > Site Health check, install this plug-in, then navigate to your home screen. That is all it takes to clear that error message and publish events. Super plug-in.

  • solved my issue

    jetpack_scan_refresh_states_event, is late to run In sitehealth that issue was permanent and after installing and activated this puluggin, the issue dissapeared and got the final checkmark from sitehealth.. Very well! Everything runs smoothly here. Thanks!

  • Essential for me - but shouldn't be needed

    I often set Posts to publish at midnight, so they occasionally get missed. This plugin is a superb solution, kudos to the developer it works with perfectly with no effort needed after installing. Really though WordPress should handle this without an extra plugin.

  • The plugin saved my life. Great. Thank you.

    My scheduled posts were blocked after trying the "Auto Post Scheduler" plugin. I uninstalled the plugin "Auto Post Scheduler" but my planned publications remained unpublished. I was very happy to find the "Scheduled Post Trigger" plugin to solve my problem. Thank you so much.

  • Shouldn't be needed but worked well

    I had noticed that missing a scheduled post was becoming a regular occurrence. Installing the addin cleared those posts that had been mixed, and hopefully that success will continue
