WP Missed Schedule Fix finds missed schedule posts and republishes them correctly.
From your list, I use only Ad Code Manager plugin and I’m already update it.I will try Edit Flow plugin, I think it will be useful for me.
After WP 3.5.1 update I was facing the missed schedule problem. WP Missed Schedule Fix helped me to get our of it.
Thanks for that.
Document Feedback works perfect. But it seems that unlogged users cannot give feedback. Any way to fix that ?
I’ve used the exploit scanner plugin – it was quite handy after one of our sites had its security compromised. Picked up all sorts of small things that could have resulted in major issues later on. I use this now for an initial scan and afterwards run the Wordfence plugin on an ongoing basis.
I may have to try out the exploit scanner one. I’m always freaked out what a program like that might do if it is programmed to use the exploit first.
Justin – you’re quite right to be concerned about that – some of the less well-known security plugins have been known to have some malicious scripts in them. Generally it’s a good idea to go for the more well-established ones.
Sizwe Mahlala – I tried using Wordfence but it causes havoc on a shared hosting setup with limited resources – have you used any others that you might be able to recommend that are less resource intensive?
Among these plugins fast secure contact form is the one I use . I switched to fast secure contact form from WP contact form after I found that its making my blog slow
I think exploit scanner is definitely one of the better security options I’ve tried out. I ran into quite a few issues with resource constraints with some of the others.
I had trouble with missed schedule since update to 3.5 and didn’t know what to do about it. Later, I realized that there is a plugin for that and it worked like magic. Of course, now I am on 3.5.1 and things seem to work much better here.
Thanks,
Kumar
