Hi Brian,
I also have a problem at the moment with WPeMatico which might be related to your issue: when a WPeMatico run is triggered by cron, WPeMatico actually creates the posts, but they don’t show up on the Website (and also not in the backend).
I investigated this problem a bit and found, that the newly created posts have no publish date set in the wp_posts table.
mysql> select id,post_date,post_title from wp_posts order by id desc limit 30;
+——+———————+———————————+
| id | post_date | post_title

I haven’t yet found a reason why that happens, but maybe it helps you (or someone else) to discover the problem.
I have a hunch that it is related to a bug in WPML, but I can’t say for sure yet…
Best,
Lukas, also Ph.D. ??
