Object Cache Prevents Scheduled Posts from Publishing

    After installing W3 Total Cache, my scheduled posts stopped publishing and were “Missed”. After much troubleshooting and searching, I discovered that if I disable Object Cache in W3 settings, it is fixed.

    I thought maybe it was Redis, but I switched the settings to Memcached and the problem persists. So the only solution at this time is to disable Object Cache completely.

    Do you know of a solution to this issue? I noticed that this was posted a couple years ago here in this forum, but no solution was available and those posts were quite old, so thought I’d ask again.

    I am using Cloudways / DigitalOcean, in case you can suggest a hosting conflict that is known to you.

    I will also add, for anyone else reading this who may be struggling with the same troubleshooting, that one of the common solutions offered on the web is to disable the default WP Cron functionality via wp-config.php and then manually trigger cron via cPanel or some other hosting level cron job. I wanted to say that I tried this, and this does not work for this particular situation. The only solution was to disable W3 Total Cache’s object caching.

    Hello @schwindt14

    Thank you for reaching out.
    We cannot seem to replicate the problem on our end.
    Can you please share if the option “Enable caching for wp-admin requests” is enabled in Performance>Object Cache?
    Thanks!

    It is not checked.

    The other checkbox there (“Store transients in database”) is checked, but I tested with that checked/unchecked and it was irrelevant.

    Let me know if you need any additional system information. Obviously this is a free plugin and can’t be expected to work perfectly for everyone, but since it is working great in other respects, I’ll do whatever I can do to help get its full functionality.

    Hello @schwindt14

    Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry for the late reply.
    I cannot seem to replicate the problem you are experiencing. SO this seems to be related to some specific environments.
    Can you please also share if you are using a native WP scheduler or some other method for this?
    Thanks!
