  Why isn’t my post showing up in the reader under the tags I noted? I just published a post and checked a few of the tags I included in it: photography, art and impressionism and my post does not show up in any of these when I just checked the reader. How is my post going to be seen?

  Here’s the link to the post: https://travelswithtoby.wordpress.com/2015/10/24/my-few-hours-in-washington-d-c/

  Thanks for any help.

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

  I just checked several more of my tags and it’s not showing up in any of them??????

  did you change it so that the author cannot see their posts under any of the tags in the post? that seems like an odd change. but I know that I have seen my new posts before.

  heavy sigh…….

  I think I just figured this out. the aforementioned post was set to scheduled publishing. I wondered if that was the cause and I think that it was. because I just published another post but this time it was a live post rather than scheduled.

  maybe WordPress can fix this error some time. I won’t be using the schedule feature I don’t think. at least until it’s fixed.

  Hi Toby,
  The post you linked to has a combined total of 16 categories and tags when the maximum is 15. All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
  The combined total of categories and tags on any post must not exceed 15 or it will not display on Categories and Tags pages and in the WordPress.COM Reader. Also note that your posts display there for 60 days only.

  Also scheduled posts do not get triggered to become published until a visitor clicks into the site after the scheduled date and time. See here for more on that https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/schedule-a-post/#troubleshooting-scheduled-posts

  oh and by the way? I reduced the number of tags and I’m now seeing it in at least one of the remaining tags.

  good to know!
