Scheduled posts going into trash.
-
My scheduled posts keep going into the trash. I am not deleting them. How can I stop this from happening?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I see that you’re an editor on that site. Please contact the site administrator and ask them if they or someone else is moving them to the trash.

Our site admin says she is not deleting anything or denying anything (she rarely even accesses it). She asked if there are any automated settings that she needs to change or adjust? This only began happening around February. I was scheduling things up to 7 or 8 months ahead in 2018 with no issues, but the items going into the trash has only recently been happening. Thanks for your assistance.

Hey all, Just mentioning that this looks to be a continuation of this earlier forum thread: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/scheduled-posts-disappearing/

@heathervdr, one of the other site editors put six posts in the trash five days ago. Are the posts that are in the trash now the ones you were referring to?
https://wordpress.com/posts/my/trashed/siskeystaff.wordpress.comIf so, please contact the site owner and advise them to reduce privileges to on most users to “author” unless they are supposed to be deleting posts.

OK, our Admin is working on that. I took a few very old posts out yesterday or the day before. Can you identify what user is deleting scheduled posts? We haven’t been able to figure that out. (The solution could be as simple as sending an “please stop, thanks” email if we just knew who to ask.)

Since you are not an admin on the site, I cannot divulge that information, but if can have an admin reach out to us, I would be happy to let them know
Thanks,

Shouldn’t the site owner be able to see this information in the site’s Activity log? https://en.support.wordpress.com/activity/

Yeah, it was the first thing that I checked. Since they are on the free plan, it only shows the last 20 events and the activities on the site are so frequent (several per minute) that any events where posts were moved to the trash are no longer showing. However, if it continues to happen and it’s noticed in time, the owner can monitor it..it’ll just be difficult. But, it may be easier for them to contact us and let us provide them that info.
Great suggestion, though. :)
