Publishing posts

  • I have a scheduled post that I wanted to publish now. I tried to do that using quick edit and selected status Published and clicked update. After refresh it still shown Scheduled.

    Then I edited the post and tried to change the status from there, there was no Published status in the dropdown. There was Pending review and Draft only.

    I had to change the scheduled time to past time than current, only then the button changed to Publish.

    Is this a glitch?

  • No, I don’t think it’s a glitch.

    The publication date takes priority, and the post will only go live on that date.

    So as long as the publication date is in the future, it’s still a scheduled post even if you set the status to “published” in Quick Edit.

    So if it’s a glitch at all, the glitch here is that Quick Edit shouldn’t allow you to choose a status of “Published” when the publication date is in the future… because it’ll NOT have the intended effect ??

    I agree George. But yes it should have a Published option in quick edit. Then all good.
