  I scheduled a blog to go live at 6am this morning, 1 November 2017. The post did not publish at all.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @growlearningco,

  The Scheduled posts will be triggered by the first visit to your blog on or after the exact date/time you set.

  You simply need to log out of WordPress.com and view your blog’s front page.

  Your visit should cause the post to appear.

  And then your post will be published.

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks!!

  Thanks so much for your response, @jagjeetparmar. That’s really inconvenient as the point of scheduling a blog is to not have to concern yourself about if/when it will be published. If I’d know this I wouldn’t have scheduled at all – no point

  Hi there

  What @jagjeetparmar mentioned is correct.

  Here is the link to a similar thread in which staff answered the same: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/scheduled-posts-not-posting-6?replies=2

  I can you see a post of 1st Nov:https://growlearningco.wordpress.com/2017/11/01/success-at-school-success-at-home/

  Please confirm if it is posted automatically or you manually posted it?

  In addition to that please confirm the following checks:
  1. Is your timezone correct in your Settings -> General page?
  2. Did you save your post as a draft rather than schedule it? For the post to publish, you must click the Schedule button.
  3. Has no one visited your blog yet? Try logging out of WordPress.com and visiting your blog’s front page.
  4. If you have more than 100 scheduled posts, reduce that amount to less than 100.

  Please refer this support article for scheduling a post for more details:https://en.support.wordpress.com/schedule-a-post/#troubleshooting-scheduled-posts

  Thanks!

  Hi growlearningco,

  As @jagjeetparmar mentioned, someone visiting your site will trigger the scheduled post to be published. I appreciate this means your post may not be published at the exact time it is scheduled for but it’s a technical limitation of this feature.
