According to Crontrol the plugin last ran1 hour 20 minutes ago even though it should run every 100 seconds. However, my cPanel cron job only runs every 4 minutes, so there should be a new post every 4 minutes. Is this cPanel cron job sufficient for this:

wget -q -O – https:/example.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron >/dev/null 2>&1

This problem happens with multiple themes. It seems WP screwed up by removing the additional CSS option from the appearance section of the admin area.

Also, it wouldn’t make sense to approach the theme authors because doing this within a theme itself is a bad idea. Does WP know the meaning of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it?” The additional CSS like the rest of the traditional system worked great and did not need changing. I have classes that must be applied to every site of mine no matter what theme it uses, so it would not make sense to seek theme specific solutions to what has always until now been solvable without altering the theme.

Thanks for the feedback. I just noticed another problem in which I have a couple thousand posts in the trash but when I run the CLI command to empty the trash it says there are no items in the trash at all.

I have to run empty trash in the admin area to empty the trash.

I tried using skip plugins and skip themes same problem.

It was emptying the trash fine until at some point last night I kept seeing notices of failing to delete posts in the terminal. Can’t think of any reason why WordPress would refuse to delete a trashed item.

Also, I will not break an entire site by switching the theme just to delete a few things. The current theme is Newspack. There are too many plugin performing essential tasks to start deactivating any of them

Finally, why would WordPress run any plugin code at all in response to a deletion?

This worked instantly but doesn’t change the fact that the normal CLI delete function does not work.

wp db query ‘DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=”post” AND post_status=”trash”;’ –skip-column-names

@contentiskey do you know of a plugin that does that? I also have a plugin which prepends a button featuring an image to post content when the post loads, so this needs to be done in a way that won’t strip that image either. Ideally, there should be a plugin out there which will scan post entries in the database and remove image HTML from them, but I can’t find one.

Why does it take so long to select all just by clicking the checkbox after the scan completes. The first scan results were un-selectable then I changed the post count from 1,000 to 500 but I often have to refresh the page and try clicking the box again. Sometimes it just freezes, selects nothing, and won’t let me click the box again.

Setting the memory to 2GB did nothing. I also tried running with basically no limits on other constraints present in MultiPHPini editor. Nothing worked, obviously this is a broken plugin.
