No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    If you notice any “Schedule Events are Late” sort of message from WordPress Dashboard > Tools > Site Health check, install this plug-in, then navigate to your home screen. That is all it takes to clear that error message and publish events. Super plug-in.

    I often set Posts to publish at midnight, so they occasionally get missed. This plugin is a superb solution, kudos to the developer it works with perfectly with no effort needed after installing. Really though WordPress should handle this without an extra plugin.

    My scheduled posts were blocked after trying the “Auto Post Scheduler” plugin. I uninstalled the plugin “Auto Post Scheduler” but my planned publications remained unpublished. I was very happy to find the “Scheduled Post Trigger” plugin to solve my problem. Thank you so much.

    I had noticed that missing a scheduled post was becoming a regular occurrence. Installing the addin cleared those posts that had been mixed, and hopefully that success will continue

    I have used this plugin for a couple of years without any issues. Without it, WordPress misses posts all the time. I don’t understand why this functionality isn’t built into WordPress, but I am thankful for the developer.
