I’ve started using scheduling to publish future events. I’m asssuming there is a cron job that publishes the waiting future events.
What is the likely maximum delay between the sheduled publishing time and the time the event actually gets published?

The scheduling of event is using the WP cron.
Check the article here.

The date and time is relying on the timezone you set in your WP Settings -> General.
thanks

Thanks for the reply. I’ve installed a plugin so that I can see cron jobs. What I don’t know is which cron job publishes the scheduled events and the frequency it runs.

Hi there,
That’s actually a WordPress core feature and is handled by WordPress itself, the cron job for this is publish_future_post and the frequency is whatever it needed to be for your schedule as its unique to the specific post (EE events are a custom post type within WordPress).
If you install something like WP Crontrol and go to Tools -> Cron Events you’ll find something like this:

Thats a cron event specifically for a post within ID 171, it will run in 4 weeks 1 day, but not that it relies on WP_CRON, which isn’t precise.
