No post deleted at all, scheduller running

[susanto .Participant]

i already make yang schedule to delete a post by category, and the scheduled task already on the scheduled list but no post deleted at all. This is the sample that are in scheduled jobs list :

Array ( [0] => Array ( [post_type] => post [selected_cats] => Array ( [0] => 52 ) [restrict] => [private] => [limit_to] => 0 [force_delete] => 1 [date_op] => [days] => 0 ) )

The scheduller is running, the time keep changing every 10 minutes but no post deleted at all. The post is created by Autopost Plugin. If i delete it manualy without scheduller, it can run well. Plz help

Would it be possible for you to give me access to your server?

I think it is happening because of the Autopost plugin.

Dear sudar, any solution ? i buy this plugin just for this purpose. thanks

[SudarKeymaster]

I just checked your site and the posts that belong to the “Detik” category are getting deleted when the cron runs.

But since you have huge number of posts in that category and also huge number of plugins it is able to delete only about 50 posts every 10 minutes.

Try to disable some plugin to speed up your site and then the scheduler should be able to delete more posts.

Mr sadar, i manually delete it since 11pm until now. I think it getting deleted not because the cron job, but i delete it manually. For now i will stop delete it manually. Could you please check it again? Thanks alot

[susanto .Participant]

Since i stop manual delete last night, post in “detik” category are not deleted at all.

[SudarKeymaster]

I am doing some testing. Please don’t delete anything manually till this testing is done.

[susanto .Participant]

ok, thanks

I did some extensive debugging and it looks like your webhost is killing the cron job before it can complete.

Also your server is under heavy load most of the time.

Which webhost are you using? Also can you find out from your webhost whether they kill long running process?

[susanto .Participant]

I’m using URLJET.com. The only plugin that use a extensive resource is Autoblog whicth is run every several minutes. I already disable this plugin right now so you can make some debugging and i’m sure that the server will not in heavy load.

[SudarKeymaster]

If I try to delete posts manually then the process get’s killed after it deletes about 30-40 posts and it takes about 2 minutes to delete those 40 posts.

After that I get a screen from CDN saying that the server is not able to respond. It takes another 2-3 minutes before I can access the admin again.

If I set it to just delete 10 posts, then it takes about 30-40 seconds to delete just 10 posts. If I increase the number then the process takes longer and get’s killed.

That’s why I was saying that your server is under load. It need not be that your specific WordPress installation is under load, but the server where your website is hosted might be under load because of other websites that are hosted together with it.

Does your webhost provide any type of dashboard where you can check the load status of your WordPress installation and server?

[susanto .Participant]

I check cpanel dan find no such utility to check server load status. If you need cpanel account, i will give it to you. What strange for me is why no post at all are getting deleted when the cron job are running. In manually delete, at least there are 10-50 post are getting deleted before it time out. The others plugin that are also using cron which have a heavy load and time like autoblog and backupbuddy (i just deactivate both of them) can running well without any problem.

[SudarKeymaster]

Please give me access to cPanel as well.

I will confirm whether it is because of server load or some other issue.

any progress ? thanks

[SudarKeymaster]

I did some extensive debugging on your site and found that your site is very heavily loaded.

The following plugins are causing huge load on your server

1) WP Post Views
2) Visitor Maps
3) Autoblog

In addition to the load, your WordPress installation is also having huge number of cron jobs scheduled at particular point in time which is leading to lot of missed crons as well.

I suggest either you increase the resources available in your server or disable some of these plugins.

[susanto .Participant]

i already try to disable all item that you listed, except “WP Post Views” which i don’t know how and what plugin to disable, but unfortunately, theres still no post single post deleted at all. This make this plugin unusable for me. Can i ask for refund? sorry for this coz i already try everything i can but the plugin still can’t delete any single post and i must delete the post manually every day until now.
thanks
