Scheduled posts disappearing
-
Hi. I have been scheduling posts to appear on future dates. I scheduled 4 yesterday. Each is very similar, just the dates change. Of the 4 I scheduled yesterday, only 2 remain. Earlier in the year, I scheduled about a dozen and all of those disappeared. How can I get them to stay in the que and be published on the chosen date? Thank you for your help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
What do you mean they disappear? Do they just not publish and automatically revert to draft, or do they completely disappear from your posts list?
Of the 4 I scheduled yesterday, only 2 remain.
I see five posts published on your site on the 16th, which is “yesterday” relative to when you posted your question here, and I see no unpublished scheduled or draft posts for that date. What is the title of the post that did not publish as it should?
Our logs also show you deleted three posts on the 16th. Are you sure the missing posts aren’t among those you deleted? You can see all deleted posts on your site that haven’t been removed from the Trash folder yet here:

In order to troubleshoot this we’d need to look at a specific post this has happened to, and preferably right after it happened, so next time this happens, please don’t make any changes to the post in question, and comment here with the post’s title so we can take a look.

The ones I checked on ahead of time were no longer in the list of schedule posts. The older one that “disappeared” did not post on the date they were scheduled.
Thanks for any help!

Checking again today, all 4 post I scheduled for date in May are gone. (No longer in scheduled list; scheduled list is empty.)

The posts I intentionally deleted were very old drafts, some from as far back as 2015. I had 4 posts that I wrote yesterday, 4/17, and scheduled for various dates in May. The titles all began with “Today is Drop Dead Day for..” and ended with a date. Also missing are posts regarding “May 1st is Last Day for Camp Checks” or something to that ilk. Since they’re gone, I can’t say what the title was with total certainty. We’re looking for posts with a future posting date written by my user name. (We have many contributors to this site.)
After checking the link above, many of my future posts appear to be in the trash, although I did not put them there. Is it possible to see why they were moved or what user moved them to the trash? I did not delete those.
Thanks again!

Howdy –
Please share the post titles of the ones that were scheduled and are now missing.

See titles in above message. They were all in the trash, but I did not delete them. Can you tell who did? There are several others in my trash (of same or similar title) as I continued to rewrite and schedule the same thing over and over only to have them end up in the trash.
