Posts not publishing!

  • Unknown's avatar

    Over the past couple of weeks, I have posted two posts that haven’t shown up on my blog. I checked, and they’re on the public setting. Also, in the pages section they have been moved to the published section. This has happened whether I scheduled a post ahead of time or published immediately. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get those posts to show up?
    Thank you!

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

  • Hi there,

    Did you perhaps create the posts using the mobile app? The mobile app saves drafts on your device, so if something went wrong when uploading the posts they might never have synced with your site, but might still be on your phone.

    I also see that you have deleted several media files during the past two weeks, and at least two posts and a page was also deleted. If you did not do it, it means someone else who has access to your computer or who knows your password did it, so I’d suggest updating your password immediately and don’t leave your browser logged in on your computer when you’re not using it.

    Hi, thanks for your suggestions. :)

    I created one but not both posts on a device, so I don’t believe that’s the issue since they both didn’t post, though I will look into it.

    I’m pretty sure I did delete posts purposely, but I will change my password because you can never be too safe.

    Thank you!

  • If you remember the titles of the missing posts I can try and check if they might be the deleted posts I saw in the logs, in case you’d like to make sure.

    Yes please!
    -8 World War 2 Books I Love (or something along those lines)
    -Simple Ways to Declutter Your Desk
    Thanks!

  • 8 World War 2 Books is showing on your site as a Draft post, here:

    I also see a page with a similar title, and a page titled Simple Ways to Declutter Your Desk, so it looks like you might have published those as pages instead of posts:

    https://purelyolivia.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page

    To fix this, you’ll have to copy the pages and paste them into new posts. Then delete the pages when you are done. There’s no option to automatically convert a page into a post.
