Checkup Documentation

Content publishing scheduled task is not enabled

Summary

It is important to ensure the Content publishing scheduled task exists and is enabled. This is especially useful when you have content that has Publish From and Publish To dates set. This is the scheduled task that changes the page's status to published and archived at the appropriate times. If it is not running, your content will not publish properly.

Check Logic

Constant Care for Kentico will ensure the scheduled task is enabled (default)

You can manage your settings for this checkup in the Constant Care for Kentico admin settings.

Resolution

Go to the Scheduled Tasks application and ensure the Content publishing task exists and is enabled. This should run at minimum once a day, but at least every hour is recommended if you have time-sensitive content publishing schedules.

If the task does NOT exist, follow the steps laid out on mcbeev.com:
