<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.

<h4>WordPress Missed Scheduled Post Publisher by WPBeginner</h4>

<p>Our plugin specializes in resolving the “missed scheduled post” issue with precision. It ensures that your scheduled posts consistently meet their publication deadlines. This post scheduler plugin has been meticulously crafted for optimal performance, guaranteeing zero impact on your website’s speed and responsiveness.</p>
<h4>What Causes the Missed Scheduled Post Error?</h4>
<p>Not seeing WordPress scheduled posts show up on time?</p>
<p>WordPress relies on something called “WordPress cron jobs” to make these posts go live as scheduled. Think of “cron” as a fancy way of saying “commands that follow a schedule,” just like your WordPress scheduled posts.</p>
<p>In the technical world, a real “cron job” operates at the server level. But since WordPress can’t access that level directly, it does the next best thing by running a “simulated cron.”</p>
<p>These simulated cron jobs, including the one for your scheduled posts, are supposed to kick in whenever someone (or even a bot) visits your site. But because it’s not the real deal, there are times when it slips up and leads to a “missed schedule” hiccup.</p>
