Cron not running when you expect? This plugin may help. Also provides insight into WP-Cron exactly like the Cron View plugin.
This plugin will visit your site every minute and thereby ensure that your cron jobs run on time. It is mostly intended for people who can’t use real cron for some reason.
Note: This is the exact same plugin that was previously sold on Code Canyon.

Improved Cron

Keep WP-Cron running every minute for scheduled tasks without actually using Cron.

SOUP creates a widget in your sidebar which allows you to display your upcoming posts (scheduled, drafts, or both) to your readers. The idea is to entice your readers to come back and read the article once it gets published, or better yet, subscribe to your RSS feed and/or newsletter.
Here are the configurable options for the widget:
<ul>
<li>Title of sidebar widget</li>
<li>Number of upcoming posts to display (always in ascending order – newest first)</li>
<li>Choose whether to show date of upcoming post</li>
<li>Display order of the posts (next post first or random order)</li>
<li>Message to display for when there are no scheduled posts or drafts</li>
<li>Show/hide newsletter link</li>
<li>Include link to sign up to newsletter</li>
</ul>
I’ve got plans to continue developing and updating this plugin.
