  Hello there,
  I wonder what has happened and if I have done something wrong since my newest post https://tickettoadventures.wordpress.com/2016/03/05/best-things-to-do-and-see-in-singapore/ does not show up in the reader and does not generate any traffic from WordPress even though I have a good amount of followers? Too may tags? Please advise! How do I fix this problem?

  I’m having the same problem right now! but the weird thing is it only happens once in a while. A way I solved it the first time was by changing my theme. I did try that but it still didn’t work so It might not work for you.

  Hope this helps :)

  Thank you for the hint! I have now changed my theme, so let’s see what happens. Any better on your blog now?

  I am having the same issue, once in awhile, on both of my blogs. It seems to happen when I post drafts that I’ve written a few days before. For some ridiculous and frustrating reason the date that drafts are set to post are the date that it was written, so if you write something and save it as a draft and let it simmer for a few weeks before publishing, the date it publishes is not the current date and time it is the date and time from a few weeks ago (when you wrote it). Very annoying. However, even when I change the date and set it to the current time, or even a time 5 minutes in the future, and it publishes, it still doesn’t show up in the reader.

  I wish WordPress staff would fix this issue. I keep seeing people with this problem on the forums and no response at all!

  Thank you for your comment, this is very valuable information! I think this might be what has happened with my newest post too as I kept it in drafts for several weeks while working on it. What a frustrating issue! WordPress should fix this bug immediately, otherwise what is the point of the draft and scheduling functionality if the posts are dated in the past!

  WordPress staff I am waiting for your reply on this issue!
