New Editor – Won't Publish Post
-
I am trying the new editor and when a draft is saved, and I am happy with the result I click on Publish to Blog link and all it does is resave the draft and does not publish the post.
What am I doing wrong?… I have Publish Immediately selected in the box.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello! Have you tried a different browser and/or tried to publish from another computer? Sometimes browser specific glitches can cause issues like this.
Anyway, I think a WordPress.com staff member will need to look into this. I have tagged this thread for staff, and they will be along soon to have a look. :)

I have just posted another post… without previewing or saving and it published OK using Chrome Browser. Will try IE for my next post and save it and will let you know if it happens again.

It must be a Chrome thing… it doesn’t publish directly from Chrome…. and it won’t publish even if you save the post in Chrome. It will save the post to your Dashboard and you have to go there and publish

OK, thanks for detailing the problem. I’m sure staff will be able to shed more light on what exactly is happening to you! :)
To help them troubleshoot, could you please tell us what version of Chrome you are using?

Thanks very much! That looks pretty current. :)
Will leave this thread for staff to respond, then. Hope you get a fix for it soon!

Hi @brenr1958,
I just tried this out from the latest version in Chrome, and I was able to publish without any trouble even after saving the post as a draft. When you click “Publish to [Blog Name]” from the new editor, are you receiving an error message of any kind? Can you let me know the title of the most recent post you tried to publish and had trouble with?

It has been my last few posts on http://onmyfrontporch.com all posts on http://weekdayramblings and today’s couple of posts on http://ryanphotography.co.uk
If I don’t save the draft or preview the post, then it says it has published the post. But when I go to my blog there is no such post… not even in the draft section.
If I save the post then when I go to publish, it says draft saved OK but doesn’t publish the post but keeps it as a draft and I have to go into the Old Editor and then publish the post.

If have cleared cookies, deleted temporary internet files, cleared browser cache and still have the same problems.

Found the problem…. I had the zemanta extension for chrome activated and that was causing the problem. Apologies if I have caused you unnecessary work *blush*

Oh not at all! I’m glad we were able to get this resolved. Please let me know if you have any additional trouble!
