 * Hi,
 * I setup a job schedule but it won’t run. It runs manually fine but not at the
   time set.
    Removed and reinstalled the plugin with no luck.
 * Any idea why?
 * Thanks

 * Its just a guess, but you might be having general issues with WP-Cron not directly
   related to this plugin. For example, do scheduled posts not publish as well? 
   If so, your server might not be able to fire off the wp-cron job due to a config
   issue.
 * You could try using the alternate cron method and see if that gives you better
   results.

 * Thanks very much. I’m sure that is the problem since its acting as a web site
   and not a blog so no posts are being applied.
 * I’ll try adding it to cPanel’s cron jobs.
 * Thanks again…
