Why won't my post publish?

  Publishing a draft works for a minute and then the post reverts to being a draft.

  Post 157 on my blog posts after pressing publish. It looks great. Then moments later, the URL turns to a 404 and the post reappears as a draft in my dashboard.

  What can I do to make it work?

  Just got it to work….does having the simple publishing form prevent the dashboard from working correctly?

  Hi there,

  The most common cause of this is actually if you happen to have another instance of WordPress.com open which could cause it to revert back, whether that is another tab or the WordPress app on a mobile phone. The second open account can cause the recently published version to revert back to draft.

  Let me know if it’s possible that any of those were happening in this case!

  Yep. That was it. Thank you.
