The automated creation takes always a date-time of the latest news creation (or the automated job creation the first time) and always get the newest posts from that date to build newsletter.
This can seems frustrating, but imagine a guy with a thousands of older posts when configures Knews
Then, hourly, executes the creation script (or when you run it in JS debugging mode).
However, if your blog doesn’t get any visit, nothing runs in the webserver, and all the tasks will be freeze… this is the reason to configure webserver cron, it trigger PHP every 10 minutes, and it is used for Knews newsletter submission and standard WP tasks (hourly auto creation and all other WP tasks)
In the auto creation script, the conditions are checked and, if there are a newsletter to build, do it and schedule the submit.
Then, the automated submission starts in every iteration (10 minutes) if you have visits in your website or CRON are working.
The web process are different from desktop applications, we know, is more confuse and hard to code
In the future, we will add a column with “next execution time” and a buton with a “force run now”
If you think Knews is not working properly send me you admin access to: contact at knewsplugin dot com

Hello @creverter ,
That’s ok, Knews is sending posts in the auto newsletter.
But Knews inserts thumbnails of my posts in the newsletter. He leaves that of theme. How to automatically set the thumbnail of the article?
Sincerely,
(sorry for my english, i’m french :x)

Hi creverter,
We bought Knews Pro, and thumbnails stay fixed http://d.pr/i/K1dU
How can we do to have thumbnails automatically?
Thanx,
Mathieu
Hello!
First of all, use always the Prioritary Support form if you are a Pro user! We are so bussy…
The newsletters created with the Knews Free and Early versions of Knews Pro can’t do it… Update Knews pro to the latest version, create the newsletter for automate again and the automate task… or contact with us and we will patch it manually…
Kind Regards,
Carles Reverter.
