20267 releases

  1. Missed Schedule Post Publisher 2.4Latest

    • Performance: Optimized page-visit execution by deferring publication tasks to the shutdown hook, preventing page load delays for frontend visitors.
    • Reliability: Extended the transient lock duration to 300 seconds to safely handle large post publishing queues and prevent race conditions.
    • Security & Cleanup: Refactored admin settings logic to remove redundant nonce checks and improve code maintainability.
    • Compatibility: Verified compatibility with PHP 8.5 and the latest WordPress core releases.

  2. Missed Schedule Post Publisher 2.3

    • This is a major reliability update that solves the #1 cause of “plugin not working” reports: disabled WP-Cron and aggressive caching.
    • ✨ Smart Dual-Mode Operation * Automatic DISABLE_WP_CRON detection – Plugin now works perfectly even when WP-Cron is disabled * Page-visit fallback mode – If WP-Cron doesn’t trigger, the plugin runs on frontend page visits instead * Intelligent throttling – Ensures checks only happen at your configu…
    • 🛡️ Enhanced Reliability * Try-catch-finally protection – Prevents lock mechanism from getting stuck even if fatal errors occur * Improved error handling – Better logging and recovery from unexpected failures * Lock cleanup guarantee – Transient lock is always released, even if the script crashes
    • 📊 Admin Panel Improvements * WP-Cron status indicator – Shows if WP-Cron is disabled with a clear notice * Operating mode display – See at a glance whether plugin is using WP-Cron or page visits * Better status information – More informative “Current Status” section in settings
    • Added check_and_publish_on_page_load() method for page-visit-based checking
    • Wrapped publish_missed_posts() in try-catch-finally for bulletproof lock management
    • Added intelligent throttling to prevent excessive execution on high-traffic sites
    • Admin panel now skipped during page-visit checks to reduce overhead
    • Enhanced compatibility with caching plugins (WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, Cloudflare, etc.)
    • Fixed: Plugin not working when DISABLE_WP_CRON = true in wp-config.php
    • Fixed: Lock mechanism getting stuck after fatal errors or timeouts
    • Fixed: No fallback when WP-Cron is blocked by aggressive caching
    • Fixed: Plugin remaining silent on low-traffic sites with caching enabled
    • Before 2.3: ❌ If WP-Cron was disabled → Plugin didn’t work at all ❌ Full-page caching → WP-Cron never triggered → Posts never published ❌ Low traffic + caching → Scheduled posts missed indefinitely ❌ Lock gets stuck → Plugin stops working until manual intervention
    • After 2.3: ✅ Works with WP-Cron enabled OR disabled ✅ Works with any caching plugin or CDN ✅ Works on low-traffic sites ✅ Never gets stuck – self-recovering ✅ True “set and forget” reliability
    • EVERYONE should update to 2.3, but especially if you: * Use shared hosting (often has DISABLE_WP_CRON enabled) * Use caching plugins like WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, or similar * Use CDN services like Cloudflare that cache aggressively * Have a low-traffic site or blog * Schedule posts during off-pe…
    • Updated FAQ with comprehensive WP-Cron and caching information
    • Added troubleshooting guide for common scenarios
    • Enhanced feature descriptions to highlight dual-mode operation

  3. Missed Schedule Post Publisher 2.2

Moved register_activation_hook and register_deactivation_hook outside the constructor and bound them using static class methods for deterministic behavior. Ensured default plugin options are crea…

  5. Missed Schedule Post Publisher 2.1

    • 🔒 Security Fixed a security issue where admin settings could be updated before capability checks. Capability (manage_options) validation is now performed before processing POST requests. Added additional hardening to prevent unauthorized settings updates.
    • ⏰ Bug Fixes Fixed an incorrect timezone calculation that caused double GMT offset conversion in admin UI. Replaced manual date offset logic with WordPress-native time handling for accurate timezone and DST support.
