<p>This plugin schedules a daily event using wp_cron that deletes all comments marked “spam” in the database, then optimizes the comments table.</p>
<p>Brief reason why I made such a low-tech plugin:</p>
<p>Akismet catches all the spam, but when I was looking at the size of my backups one day,<br />
I noticed that there were large numbers of comment spam across several sites that were undeleted and they<br />
made the databases fairly large. So I setup a cron job on my server that deletes the spam.</p>
<p>Since I had never written a plugin, I thought this might be helpful for those who do not have<br />
a dedicated server, shell access to their site, or the knowledge of (or interest in ) cron to set this up.</p>
<p>Spam is not deleted until you start the schedule after the plugin is activated. I created buttons<br />
to start and stop the schedule if you need that layer of control. There is also a button for deleting all spam manually.</p>


Delete Spam Daily

Uses wp_cron to delete comments each day that are marked "spam" in the database.

<p><strong>Your Scheduled Posts, Published On Time – Guaranteed!</strong></p>
<p>Have you ever scheduled a post in WordPress, only to find it still sitting in “Missed Schedule” status hours or days later? You’re not alone! This frustrating issue affects thousands of WordPress sites, especially those with low traffic.</p>
<p>Missed Schedule Post Publisher is the ultimate solution to WordPress’s unreliable scheduling system. Install it once, configure your preferred check interval, and never worry about missed posts again!</p>
<h3>🔴 The Problem: WordPress’s Scheduling Flaw</h3>
<p>WordPress doesn’t use a true cron system to publish scheduled posts. Instead, it relies on <strong>visitor activity</strong> to trigger scheduled tasks. This means:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Low-traffic sites</strong> can miss scheduled posts for hours or even days</li>
<li><strong>Nighttime posts</strong> may not publish until someone visits your site</li>
<li><strong>Time-sensitive content</strong> might go live too late to be effective</li>
<li><strong>Editorial calendars</strong> become unreliable and unpredictable</li>
</ul>
<p>If your site doesn’t get constant traffic, you’re at risk of the dreaded “Missed Schedule” error.</p>
