Blog post won't appear online unless…

Are you sure that the value added article wasn’t added as a page instead of post?

Thanks, Christine. Good thought, but it is indeed a post. (I just double-checked!)

But here’s an interesting twist: if I remain logged-in to my dashboard, and in another browser window I call up my blog page, the post in question WILL appear at the top of previous posts. Weird… but does that help?

Is it marked Private?

Thanks, Jonas. (Great profile pic!) But, no, the post is marked ‘Public.’

Have you tried deactivating all plugins and/or changing themes to see if the problem goes away?

Thanks. That’s the real Jonas Grumby in the pic.

Mystery solved! (Thanks, Jonas). A plugin was somehow preventing the post from appearing.

A while back, I began noticing increasing access of my wp-cron.php page. Again, I know nothing about this stuff, but the number of accesses were quite high; more so than that of all other pages. I Googled that topic and many suggestions pointed to a plugin that would control that. That is the plugin I deactivated to make this blog post visible again.

But now, can anyone suggest what to do about the cron issue, if I can’t use the plugin?

Again, many thanks!

The cron issue is a different issue all together. I would start a new thread with that topic and mark this one as resolved. Keeping one topic per thread makes it easier for others to help and find solutions to their problems.

Thanks, Christine! I’ll do that.
