If you can tell me how to add a custom post status then I \nam happy to add that functionality. If you need to use \"Pending Review\" yourself\nthen you probably can't use this plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Why can't I set the minute as well as the hour for posting?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Because I said so.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Why doesn't the post show immediately it is scheduled to appear?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Perhaps because:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>WP cron hasn't yet run the task. Wait until a minute after the hour and\nrefresh the blog main page.<\/li>\n<li>Something caused the WP cron process to skip the task. Wait an hour.<\/li>\n<li>If you have changed the timezone for your blog then you may need to\ndeactivate and reactivate the plugin to reset the cron timer.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>Can I see what posts have been processed and when?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
