  Good morning,
  I’m looking for help to try and figure out why my scheduled posts say they’ve ‘published’ but are not showing up on my website or app.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  
  I see that there was a post made today. Was that the post that was scheduled, and did it auto-post, or did you have to manually publish the post?

  Here would be the main reasons why your scheduled posts did not post:

  • Is your timezone correct in your My Site → Settings → General page?
  • Did you save your post or page as a draft rather than schedule it? You must click the Schedule button for the post or page to publish.
  • Has no one visited your blog yet? Try logging out of WordPress.com and visiting your blog’s front page. This is required because scheduled posts use “cron jobs.” A cron job is an automated task that runs at a specified time or interval. This will only trigger on page load, so scheduled posts are published when the site is visited.
  • If you have more than 100 scheduled posts, reduce that amount to less than 100. Only 100 scheduled posts are possible at a time.
  • Is your post or page visibility set to Private?

  Please let us know if any of the above applies to your situation, and we’d be happy to assist further.
  
  Thanks!
