  I’ve tried to publish a new post to my blog (scotmarvin.com) and after a minute it reverts back to Draft.

  I initially thought it was a cache issue. However, after publishing the same article six times and checking on three different computers with various browsers, I’m pretty sure it’s something on the WordPress end (or on my side on the WordPress end).

  Any ideas?

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

  The closest I’ve seen to a similar issue is here:

  But there are no solutions.

  I’m still looking for help. The situation has not resolved itself.

  Thanks, Timethief. I appreciate you tagging this.

  I hope this can get resolved soon. Seems to be a bug rather than user error.

  Hi there,

  Does this happen with all posts, or was it just happening to one particular post? If it was just one post, were you eventually able to publish it?

  Could you let me know which post(s) have had this issue?

  Also, could you please try the following:
  
  1) Update your browser to the most current version
  2) Check to make sure you have third-party cookies enabled in your browser:

  3) Log out of WordPress.com, clear your browser cache, and log back in.

  If none of that resolves the issue for you, please let me know.

  Hi Jackie,

  Well, for reason today it is working. When I published the draft for 11th time, it finally took hold.

  Beats me why. It wasn’t a cache or browser issue (I tried over multiple computers and browsers). Weird.

  And it was only with the latest post. It never happened before.

  Thanks for checking in!

  I’m glad it’s working for you now, but I’m a little troubled that it was giving you so much grief. Could you please keep an eye on it, and try the tips I listed if it happens again, and then let me know?
