Hi,
I’m having some issues with featured images set when a pull is run by cron. I run my feeds with a cron setting from the server not wp-cron. Then the posts are created as a draft. Post scheduler then publishes the post.
If I run the feed manual I always see a featured image. When the feed is run by cron sometimes a featured image is set but mostly not.
It doesn’t matter how the plugin is triggered – manually or by cron, because the same code is used in both cases. Perhaps your server has not enough time to pull all the posts with images at once when run in cron mode.

I understand. It just seams weird. I know WordPress creates different images sizes after upload. Could this create a time out somehow?
Each job only parses one post. So only one image needs to be parsed. The image is pulled and saved to the server. However, the image is not always added as a featured image in the cron pull. I use “Generate from the “thumb” custom field”
What timing should I change on the server to try out?
There is no such a thing as an universal timing for everyone and everything. Try to set your max_execution_time value say… 4 times more than the current value.

Hi, I changed the max_execution_time. This had no change or effect.
I watched the log and found a difference between en feed pulled by cron or manually. Here’s an example:
In this feed “Post thumbnail is required” is checked

Just send you an example feed
Just checked your feed by cron and manually. In both cases the result was absolutely the same. Seems in your case you just forgot to remove the images, syndicated at the previous try. Or perhaps your server has some temporary connection interruptions when it transfers images from stickydollars.com. I don’t see any errors in the CyberSEO Pro code.

Thanks for testing. I tested a feed on en newly installed WP website. And I have no errors. So I think it’s not in CyberSeo nor on the server. I’m disabling plugins now to see if something is interfering. It’s really weird. I’m experiencing this on another site to.
I think I found it. I might be the Page Cache in W3 Total Cache interfering
