They can run late unless something starts WordPress's scheduler. AI AutoPost checks your campaigns every minute through WP-Cron, but WP-Cron only runs when someone visits your site. On a new or quiet site nobody may visit for an hour, so posts come late.
How to tell: in AI AutoPost → Settings → Cron Schedule, Next Run shows overdue instead of something like in 40 secs.
How to fix it:
wp-cron.php every minute, visitors or not. The Settings page shows the exact lines under WP-Cron not firing reliably?, already filled in with your site address.wp-cron.php is blocked, the plugin can ask AlgoPoint to start it remotely every minute.To test straight away, click Run Now on a campaign; it ignores the schedule.
