If you are having a Missed Schedule issue with post, it would be mostly the Timezone issue [Time mismatch with local time] which you can fix by just changing the time zone in the PHP settings and setting the correct time in the wordpress admin General settings.

wp-cron.php is resposible for the Schedule post module. wp-crone.php is called in intervals to check for scheduled post on a server with the help of Cron job module.

So what was the issue I faced – It is really funny and i should laugh   at myself if i think of it.

Missed Schedule was happening all time, fixed the time zone and checked all other stuffs and it was OK, even if i manually call the wp-cron.php, the missed schedule will get published. So where the HELL was the issue

Analysis : It was a Windows Server[IIS] and it dont have Cron Job module WTF !  . Seriously never thought of that.

Solution : Use the Task Scheduler to create a entry and point it to wp-cron.php with certain interval or you can use a Plugin called  WP Missed Schedule Fix Future Posts Scheduled Failed

Missed Schedule can also be caused if you have errors in wp-cron.php. So if you have such issue  better call it in a browser and check if it works fine [www.urblogname.com/wp-cron.php]. If you get a blank white screen it is working fine.

Tried a new theme on a live wordpress server , Sigh! allgone.

Mozilla firefox was just giving a white screen with no messages.
Google chrome showed 500 Internal Server Error message <3 ahh!.

Analysis : I coded a theme which was based on Wordpress 3 + and  was trying to enable  it on Wordpress 2.8 platform, which made the whole website offline, ya even the admin panel was not available

Solution :  Delete the new theme from FTP and upgrade it to v 3+ and enable it again

Most of the 500 Internal Server errors on wordpress might be due to

• .htaccess
• php memorylimit
• File mod

Another year , ya another year passed by and am 27, OMG :O

27

Hope the year ahead has some special moments of my lifetime

HTC users at and near by Trivandrum who are looking for a service center, there is one at Pattom.

My HTC Legend usually used to give a battery backup of more than a day,  on Zain network @ Kuwait.

This vacation as I was in Kerala, activated BSNL 3G and then I started facing the weird issue. Battery was draining out like anything, like if i had a Full battery @ 10 PM night, by morning the battery will be totally drained to 10% (Note that the phone is just in IDLE mode whole night).

So my initial thought was that some thing is wrong with the battery and should be replaced with a new one. So searched for a HTC service Center and found one @ Pattom , Trivandrum.

The moment I told the issue to the Techincal guy, He just asked me “Are you on BSNL” , and i said “Yes”, and he concluded “just change to some other network and it will be fine”.

He said lots of people are coming complaining with the same issue(eg HTC wildfire users). And so i did the same and Yes the battery was working fine .

So the verdict, Some thing is wrong with BSNL 3G network or HTC

Few days back I came across this article http://gizmodo.com/5740076/giz-explains-why-your-call-dropped , and it was wriiten that

“On just about any 3G network, carriers transmit voice signals with CDMA, or code division multiple access. (Yep, this includes HSPA 3G, which is often referred to as GSM.) What this means is that multiple phones can transmit over the same radio frequencies, and their signals are differentiated by code. (Disclaimer: this is a brutal simplification.) As one network engineer told me, sharing a cell tower is like sharing a room with a bunch of people that speak different languages. Different people can hold concurrent conversations, but everyone can understand what they need to—their brains block out the rest of the conversations, because to them, it’s all just gibberish anyway.

Just like in this shared room, though, as a tower gets more crowded, the volume starts to rise. The more everyone speaks, the louder one has to talk to be understood. Likewise, the more people that are using a cell tower, the more power each phone needs to be “heard” by the tower. This actually results in a contraction of the cell’s coverage area. “

So it should be the BSNL 3G network which is eating the battery as there are one or two tower which is 3G enabled in a  district,   HELL who knows.

BTW am back on Zain network and battery life is back as usuall

Its April 12th  and i got older/elder again phew!!!

One step more closer to the end of the For loop

Not much to celebrate this year because am sailing in the middle of the desert

hope i have a great year ahead ….

Happy Birthday to Me
