Post error

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello All

    Today I just scheduled the post and it didn’t work. So I used my phone to post it manually. But the post I posted was not the finished one, it is the draft one. And my finished post is gone now. I don’t know if I can take it back but I want to. Please help, I wrote a long article. I can’t write it the same way. Thank you.

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

  • Hi there,

    Can you tell me the title of/give a link to the post?

    What most likely happened is that your phone hadn’t yet synced the version of the draft you had on the web, which caused the older version of the draft in the app to get published instead.

    But the version you had saved on the web should be in the post revisions, so you should be able to restore it from there:

    As for the scheduled post not publishing, next time that happens just try opening your site in a incognito/private browser window. Scheduled posts need to be triggered by an event, like someone viewing the site, before they’ll actually publish. So on newer sites and sites that don’t get a lot of traffic it can sometimes look like the scheduling failed, but the problem is really that no event has happened yet to trigger the scheduled post.

    Let me know if you have questions about this.

    Thank you for your answer.
    I just accidentally found the revisions before I read your answer, so I brought that post back. Thanks to that feature.
    And I think the schedule I made will publish as I want, so I left it and did something else. Next time I will check it from time to time.
    Thank you again!
