Scheduling posts…
-
This is very disappointing. I was planning to use the future publishing option, but I won’t if it’s broken.
-
If you post a future post and it appears early there is something we could do with – how you created the post.
If when you write a post you can note how you save / continue / the post ID and anything else (not the content) it would help hugely.
Right now I cannot make this happen. I have tried many times and every time it works perfectly. As soon as I can make it happen and then make it happen again then the cure will appear. But right now because many people are okay, some have some problems and others have more it’s very hard to try and sort out. -
Roll, thanks for the kind words. :) I don’t have backend access so there’s really little I myself can do on this one but I do hope someone will take up what Podz states and gives some specifics. (That’s a hint by the way.)

I have set up a blog just for testing this:
http://rolltest.wordpress.com/
and i have scheduled 3 posts ahead. In the dashboard it says:
Scheduled Entries:
* Scheduled for o6. August 2oo6 in 47 mins
* Scheduled for o7. August 2oo6 in 1 day
* Scheduled for o8. August 2oo6 in 2 daysMy timezone is UTC +2.
I also realised, that a scheduled post won’t be posted if the blog don’t have any visitors (maybe there is some trigger out there…).
Podz, if i got you right above, while editing a scheduled post, i always change the editor-buttons (Save and continue editing, Save, Publish). So i can’t really say if the use of a different button changes anything. But maybe i just got u wrong…

Thanks drmike.
I got the first result now. The post supposed to be published tonight at 00:01 UTC+2 wasn’t being published until i reloaded the page by clicking on the title in the banner. This happened 11 hours after the timestamp.
https://rolltest.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=4
The other two scheduled posts remain unpublished, fine.
The Dashboard says now:
Scheduled Entries:
* Scheduled for o7. August 2oo6 in 13 hours [Post-ID: 6]
* Scheduled for o8. August 2oo6 in 2 days [Post-ID: 7]and now i will change their release date, as i did sometimes. I’m curious what will happen…
drmike, is it ok to write this stuff here?

Yes, but I would send in a feedback as well with a link back to this thread and a reminder that Podz was looking into this matter.

GOOD NEWS:
I sent in screenshots to Podz over the weekend which seemed to be useful. Got a reply this morning from Ryan saying he had made some changes last night. Apparently the scheduling queue had not been updating.
He said to republish anything that had been scheduled before last night in order for the queue to right itself.
Rollmops, your blog will never show the bug that I experienced. The reason: it had to do with changing the order of the posts after they were initially scheduled. I often make new posts, intersperse them with what has already been scheduled, then reorder things. However, even after resaving everything with a new scheduled publishing date, apparently the scheduling queue was keeping things in their original order. Hence, posts would show up days in advance.
I have scheduled the next three days of my main blog, and hopefully all will go well.
I still think, though, that posts showing up regularly at 8pm my local time the night before they’re due is a different problem.
Anyway, A BIG THANK YOU to WordPress Support, especially to Podz, who was very patient and kind, and to Ryan.

yihaa, it seems to work now just fine. Scheduled post for today is published without any interaction, and – most important – the whole line isn’t touched at all, they remain unpublished as supposed. Looks great at the moment.
