What's going wrong
Several owners report that scheduled posts stop going live, either suddenly after a few days of working or right after a WordPress core update. Some had already installed this plugin to catch missed posts, yet the posts still did not publish, and the troubleshooting steps they tried did not restore the schedule. Owners of news sites, blogs and multi-author publications depend on exact publish times, so a missed slot can mean lost traffic or a missed announcement. Their reports suggest the failure happens quietly, with no notice to the owner. There is room for a monitor that confirms each scheduled post is still due and publishes or alerts on any that slip.
