Scheduled posts not showing in stats

  • Unknown's avatar

    This happened twice now.
    I have a few scheduled posts for the remainder of this month and start of next month but my most recent two scheduled posts do not show up in my statistics. I am fully aware that stats are not generated in real time but the immediately published posts are just fine. In my stats, when I hover my mouse on the date, it shows what post was published that day if any. However, it just doesn’t happen for scheduled posts.

    Publicise also doesn’t work for scheduled posts as they didn’t come up on my twitter feed.

    Is this a common occurrence? Or is this not normal at all? I am pretty sure schedule posts should come up like immediately publishes posts..any help will be awesome!

    Just to be clear, the posts are posted on schedule. It just doesn’t show up on stats on twitter!

    Thank you!

    I’d be happy to look into this further, but I’m going to need more information and will need to watch this for a bit.

    Can you tell me which of your posts were scheduled in advance (it’s hard to tell after they’re published)?

    I see tweets for your Oct. 16 and 20 posts. Did you post those tweets manually? Were those scheduled posts?

    I also see that your next scheduled post is set for Oct. 25th. When that publishes, would you let me know, and afterwards please don’t modify anything on that post or send out a tweet until I can look at it, so I can verify the behavior on my end.

    Thank you both for responding!

    jackiedana, I have just doubled checked that it is still a problem before you go to the trouble of staking out my blog and yes it is still not showing so any help would be much appreciated!

    Twitter seems to work hey- it wasn’t before so that might have been just a small glitch.

    No, not hard at all, I just checked them against my stats and whichever aren’t there were scheduled. The list is: Wedding Shoes, Samsung Galaxy Note III and Fashion at the Races.

    I will be at work when tomorrow’s post should be up, which is 2:17pm tomorrow. My time zone is +8 GMT. I have deselected Publicize on that post so it shouldn’t be tweeted.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for the update. I did some very preliminary investigation and it looked a bit odd to me as well, so I have reported this to our developers. I’ll let you know when I get more information.

    Hi again,

    I wanted to follow up with some new information.

    Publicize to Twitter wasn’t working for some scheduled posts early on, but should be working now.

    As far as your other issue, whenever a scheduled post goes out, please visit your site while logged out of WordPress.com or in incognito mode (in other words, not while logged into the account associated with the blog). That will force your post to show up (the way our scheduled posts work, they do not publish until there’s a visit to something on your site) and display on your stats bar.

    If that does not work, please let me know.
