My future posts are going missed. They are not getting published on the time they should, and it says "Missed Schedule".

I read somewhere that it could be a server issue, so how can I fix it?

Try the Missed Schedule plugin.

I found a plugin that was recently updated and used that. wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-missed-schedule Since there was only a small code, I didn't install the pluging, but used the code in my functions-file. – Martin Aleksander Apr 2 '11 at 19:45

Added the following to my functions.php:

define('WPMS_DELAY',5);
define('WPMS_OPTION','wp_missed_schedule');
function wpms_replacements_deactivate(){delete_option(WPMS_OPTION);}register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__,'wpms_replacements_deactivate');

function wpms_init(){
    remove_action('publish_future_post','check_and_publish_future_post');
    $last=get_option(WPMS_OPTION,false);
    if(($last!==false)&&($last>(time()-(WPMS_DELAY*60))))
    return;update_option(WPMS_OPTION,time());
    global$wpdb;$scheduledIDs=$wpdb->get_col(
        "SELECT`ID`FROM`{$wpdb->posts}`".
        "WHERE("."((`post_date`>0)&&(`post_date`<=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()))
        OR"."((`post_date_gmt`>0)&&(`post_date_gmt`<=UTC_TIMESTAMP()))".")
        AND`post_status`='future'
        LIMIT 0,10");
    if(!count($scheduledIDs))return;
        foreach($scheduledIDs as$scheduledID){if(!$scheduledID)continue;wp_publish_post($scheduledID);}}

    add_action('init','wpms_init',0)

Could you explain what this actually does? – Vince Pettit Apr 10 at 10:03
