  So I sent out my blog today and for some reason the “publish date” was set for feb 17, so when I published it today it went to the bottom of the page (below any posts posted after Feb 17). This was the date I started drafting the post so I get why it was doing that, however because my “permalinks” are set to do date then title it went out to readers as…
  http://champagneandshimmer.com/2015/02/17/daily-makeup-routine/

  I quickly realized the post was showing up further down on the site and went into the post and change the publish date to be today. ANYWAYS in doing so the email I sent out to my subscribers with the link was no longer valid so they all got a “page not found” when they click on it. Three questions…
  1. why are my drafts showing up when I publish them as the date I created them? I then have to manually go in and change them to todays date.
  2. how can i resent the email out to my subscribers with the new valid link?
  3. I can’t seem to find the darn permalinks I was thinking I could change the permalink to not feature the date and this would prevent this from happening again. But for some reason I can’t find them under settings!

  Thank you for your time! I

  I’m going out on a limb and guessing that it’s one of the numerous glitches of the new “improved posting experience.” The WP devs have a marvelous sense of humor.

  2. how can i resent the email out to my subscribers with the new valid link?

  You can’t.

  3. I can’t seem to find the darn permalinks I was thinking I could change the permalink to not feature the date and this would prevent this from happening again. But for some reason I can’t find them under settings!

  The settings you refer to in that “improved” thingy might be in the “Change Status” drop-down menu. But my suggestion is that you switch for good to the old, unimproved post editor, which works quite well, with far fewer unexpected surprises.
