Causes Of Missed Scheduled Post Error in WordPress :
The wordpress hosting environment used or some plugins may cause this issue. WordPress uses a technology called cron or WordPress cron to automatically publish the post at the correct time. If your hosting environment or plugins used are affecting the cron jobs, then it will cause WordPress to miss some scheduled tasks to publish the posts.
How To Fix This Issue?
First important thing is to install a Missed Scheduled Post Publisher plugin in your WordPress. There are no settings needed for you to configure for this plugin to works. This plugin checks every 15 minutes on your website to see if any scheduled posts in cron have missed the scheduled time.
If it finds any missed scheduled item there, it will change the status from scheduled to published. This plugin will not create any impact on WordPress site speed.
