      I set up 10 feeds all with the same parameters below:

      • Schedule: 24
      • Max Posts: 1

      I just set each rule active and manually ran them a few times for maybe a total of 60 posts. For some reason not even 6 hours later, the post count is now 143. At most is should be 70 give or take.

      Any ideas what may be causing this?

      Hello,

      First of all, thank you for your purchase.

      This sounds like a scheduling issue on your WordPress site. I think you should replace wp_cron with server side cron and this issue should be fixed. Please check this link for details on how to do this: https://coderevolution.ro/knowledge-base/faq/how-to-replace-wp_cron-with-server-cron/

      Please let me know if this helped.

      I thought this was only if cronjobs were not working?

      My issue is that the rules appear to be running more than the specified feed interval.

      Please advise.

      Hello,

      I am sorry if my explanation was not clear, I forgot to mention about the background functionality of wp_cron: this is a pseudo-cron (not a real cron), which is fired when visitors come to your site. So, if your website is getting a low number of daily visitors, this type of cron will not fire by itself, and it will start working only when a new visitor comes to your site.

      Example: your wp_cron is set to work on 8 PM, but a visitor hits your site only at 10 PM -> the wp_cron process will be launched at 10 PM.

      This can be fixed by using server side cron, as advised.

      I hope I cleared things up.

      Regards.

      Wait a minute… so you have more posts than you should have, correct? 🙂

      Sorry for misunderstanding this 2 times in a row…

      Please send me temporary admin login credentials to your site, so I can check on this.

      My email is [email protected]

      Sorry again for missing this…
