I have a members site built on WordPress and using aMember to protect the site. On this site I post blog articles for members only. I usually schedule the posts to be published at a future date (edit post date to the future, publish the post, scheduled time comes and it is published). I don't want to get up at 1 AM to post articles; automation should be wonderful. On my non-aMember protected blogs, the posts publish just fine. In my aMember protected blog, none of them post as scheduled; they can only publish immediately. All WordPress is 2.6.3. No WordPress plugin from aMember is used. aMember version is 3.1.4PRO. Now, this is probably because when a page is viewed, WordPress runs wp-cron.php and publishes anything waiting to be published. I suspect that when this is done, aMember is expecting a login and the process fails. Even when I go into the site and load a page (which should trigger the cron job), it does not work. Any insights? Thanks in advance...
Presume you have your wordpress directory secured entirely by amember - you say you are not using the amember plugin. You could confirm this by logging out of amember and then calling wp-cron yourself from a web browser?
It sounds like the its not running because of the amember protection. Maybe there's a way to edit the .htaccess file to allow this to happen? I haven't done this, maybe another user has? A very clumsy solution may be to put a copy of wordpress on another directory that cant be found like /s2a5skd1dj/ with the same database info, and cron to this version? David
