Published post not appearing.

Hi, I’m having some problems publishing a post. I’ve written it for Strikerless.com as an invited writer, and haven’t had any publishing problems to that blog before. The piece says it’s published, and gives me a link http://strikerless.com/2017/04/24/senza-centravanti-catenaccio-door-bolt-strikerless however when I go to that link, I get this message ‘OOPS! THAT PAGE CAN’T BE FOUND.
It looks like nothing was found at this location.’Nothing appears as a post on the site either.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Both(WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG) are different products. You can find out the differences between them here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

We are sorry that we cannot help. Hope your issue get’s resolved ASAP.
TIP: After posting the question on the WordPress.ORG forum you can provide the link to the question here, maybe i can help you there.

That’s well and good, but my account doesn’t work at wordpress.org, and signing into wordpress.com is how I post to Strikerless and have posted to it in the past. It still links to the strikerless blog which, as I said, isn’t my blog, I just post there as an invited writer, and that invite linked to my wordpress.com account. I don’t know if the owner has changed anything over or anything like that (he’s on holiday so I can’t contact him currently). All I can tell you is that this is the way I’ve always done it and it’s always worked for me.
https://wordpress.com/post/strikerless.wordpress.com/5641 That’s the URL for my post draft and as you can see it’s wordpress.com and is still linked to the strikerless blog. I’ve created an account at wordpress.org but I don’t really see how I could find help there as that account doesn’t even have permission to post to strikerless.com.
Obviously I can get the owner to send another invite and copy the HTML of the post over no worries, but it just seems weird to me that I’m supposed to all of a sudden be writing from a completely different account at a different site, especially when my wordpress.com account is still, clearly, linked to the blog I’m trying to post to.

I apologise if I’m missing something obvious somewhere along the line here, but I’m pretty confused about what I’m supposed to do here.

I am really sorry for the inconvenience.
Well, you can still talk to a WordPress.COM staff if you like, and see what they have to say about it.
To reach staff you can tag this question with the modlook tag on the Tags section of the sidebar.

Hi there,
strikerless.wordpress.com is a WordPress.com site, but that site is redirecting to a self-hosted WordPress site, strikerless.com. In other words, these are two completely different sites. You created your post on the WordPress.com site, not on the self-hosted site.
It appears the site owner moved the site to Siteground on 14 April. They will need to invite you as an author on that new site before you’ll be able to publish any posts there.
-
Okay no worries, I’ll get onto the owner as soon as he’s back from holiday, thanks for clarifying that. Sorry for the confusion as I wasn’t able to communicate with the owner.
