Allowing users to schedule blog posts in advance is one of the best features of WordPress.
One of the things that I have recently started doing is scheduling a few posts ahead of time just to have something to post in case something comes up.
Unfortunately WordPress schedule feature doesn’t work properly. Last month, I schedule 5 blog posts on one of my WordPress sites and noticed only 3 of those posts have been published. When I logged in to see, I found out it was a “Missing Schedule” Error.
If you have ever faced the “Missing Schedule” error than you know how frustrating it is, to come back to your site a few days later and see the error notification next to your blog post.
In this article, I will show you how to fix the Missing Schedule Error in WordPress.

So glad I could able to help you, Robert. Thanks for the nice comment.
Nice idea normally don’t know it missed the schedule until I still see it in the queue in the admin area.
This is great information. I schedule posts when I’m on vacation and I’ve never missed one yet, but now I’m concerned. Perhaps I should install this next time I travel to be sure I don’t have this issue?
Hey Carolyn,
Glad you liked the information and WordPress doesn’t always give the “Missing Schedule” error but when it does, it is really frustrating to see the error notification next to your blog post.
I am using it on WPKube and it works well. Thanks so much for stopping by, Carolyn.
Great stuff, worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing this valuable tip, very much appreciated..
