    Why am I not able to ‘publish’ a blog post when I’ve been writing on this for years? I wrote a blog, added media, edited, previewed, hit publish and nothing happens. I am miffed and frustrated.

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

    Hi andrewsp0kane

    Can you tell which post was that? Have you checked that post in Drafts?

    I am also tagging this post as ‘modlook’ for staff attention please wait for some time they will get back to you on this.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    As @shubhamgmath mentioned, what post did you try to publish? I see that you were able to publish your latest post right after posting here. Is everything sorted out?

    Let me know, thanks!

    No, it is not sorted out yet. My post from last night (4/30) is not appearing on my site. It is called Things in Right Places. When I go to my dashboard, I can see it and still edit it, but it does not appear on MY blog page as published, & I am unable to bring it up in the ‘search’ box, either.

    Normally I am able to ‘see’ that it’s posted as soon as I hit ‘publish.’ The dashboard does tell me, ‘It posted at 6:35 pm’ or something like that, but I sure can’t tell it.

    I did see one note (from somewhere?) that said I did not have permission to post from the site I was writing from? Do not understand this, if it lets me into the dashboard and do everything ‘except’ the final step. I do need help with this.

    I can see your post Things in Right Places published on April 30, 2018. “Two years ago on March 31, 2017, I wrote a blog post from Spokane, WA, just before my husband and I moved lock, stock & barrel to the fine state of Georgia. … ”

    Hi andrewsp0kane,

    My post from last night (4/30) is not appearing on my site. It is called Things in Right Places.

    Like @staartmees, I’m also seeing Things in Right Places as a published post:

    https://dotcom1236.wordpress.com/2019/04/30/things-in-right-places/

    It’s the first post I see when visiting your homepage and if I enter that title into the search box, it is listed in the results:

    https://dotcom1236.wordpress.com/?s=Things+in+Right+Places

    I did see one note (from somewhere?) that said I did not have permission to post from the site I was writing from?

    Humm, do you recall where you saw that? Your andrewsp0kane account is the owner of dotcom1236.wordpress.com, which means you have Administrator privileges and therefore control over the site.
