Scheduled posts not posting
-
The posts that I schedule are not posting at the time specified. For example, I scheduled one for 5:30pm today (24/9/15) and when I checked it sometime after 6pm it still had not posted. This is not the first time that this has occurred.
I checked your troubleshoot page and confirmed that the timezone was set correctly. The post was also definitely scheduled and I do not have 100 posts to worry about.
The schedule feature would be highly convenient due to my work times and preferred post times, but it doesn’t work; rendering the whole thing useless.
You assistance with this matter is greatly appreciated.

Is it this your scheduled post: https://stepintothewilderness.wordpress.com/2015/09/24/my-favourite-short-walking-tracks-part-1/
Looks like you have already checked most of the things in troubleshooting section of Schedule a Post support guide.
Were you logged into your Dashboard when you checked your schedule post on your blog? Sometimes, logging out of Dashboard and checking the site helps.

Yes, that is the scheduled post. I ended up doing it manually when I checked it.
Yeah i looked at those, but I knew nothing would help as it has happened before and i have checked before too lol.
Ah ok, no i didn’t. However, i also have social media shares set up which also didn’t display until i did it manually.
It appears to me that there must be some server issues or something. I’m not sure what else i can do locally.

I am having the exact same problem – the last several posts I scheduled don’t post until I do it manually. Checked Timezone… been using scheduled posts for awhile (usually write the post a night-or-two before it should go up). Any response yet?

Have you ruled out the items under troubleshooting steps:

Last night I scheduled a post for this morning. And it published as expected.
I wonder if you are doing anything differently.

That link helped… I found this ” Scheduled posts will be triggered by the first visit to your blog on or after the exact date/time you set. If you see that the scheduled time has come and gone and your post has not published, simply log out of WordPress.com and view your blog’s front page. Your visit should cause the post to appear.”
Stupid system, but whatever at least I know why now.
Cheers
