My scheduled post did not publish

• Inspect the issue.
• Replicate the bug and provide a communication on why it keeps happening.

What is happening

You scheduled a blog post to publish at a specific date and time, but the post did not appear on the website.

You may notice:

• The post is still labeled Scheduled
• The post changed to Missed Schedule
• The post is still saved as a Draft
• The post is not visible on the blog page

This can happen because of:

• Incorrect scheduled date or time
• Website caching
• WordPress scheduling delays
• The post not being fully saved

Before contacting the technical support team, please try the steps below.

Step 1 — Check the Post Status

Go to your WordPress Dashboard.

Click:

Posts

Look for the post you scheduled.

Check the Status column.

Possible statuses:

• Scheduled — the post has not reached the scheduled time yet
• Missed Schedule — WordPress failed to publish automatically
• Draft — the post was never scheduled

Step 2 — Manually Publish the Post

If the post shows Missed Schedule, you can publish it manually.

• Click the post title
• Click the blue Publish button

The post should now appear on your website.

Step 3 — Confirm the Scheduled Date and Time

Sometimes the scheduled time was set incorrectly.

• Open the blog post
• Look for the Publish section on the right side
• Check the Publish Date

Make sure:

• The date is correct
• The time is correct
• The time is not set in the future

If needed:

• Adjust the date and time
• Click Schedule

Step 4 — Refresh the Website

Sometimes the post is already published but not visible due to cache.

Try a hard refresh.

Windows: CTRL + F5

Mac: CMD + SHIFT + R

Then reload the blog page.

Step 5 — Check the Blog Page

Sometimes the post is published but not visible because of blog sorting or pagination.

Check:

• The blog page
• The next page of posts
• The category page

The post may appear slightly lower in the list.

Step 6 — Confirm the Post Is Not Private

If a post is set to Private, it will not appear publicly.

• Open the blog post
• Look for the Visibility setting
• Make sure it is set to Public
• Click Update

Step 7 — Verify the Post Category

Some websites only show posts from specific categories.

• Open the post
• Check the Categories section
• Make sure the correct category is selected
• Click Update

Step 8 — Try Scheduling Again

If the post still does not publish automatically, try scheduling it again.

• Open the post
• Change the publish time to 5–10 minutes in the future
• Click Schedule

Wait until the scheduled time passes and check if the post is published.

If the Issue Is Still Not Fixed

Please send the following information to the TDN Customer Service team:

• The blog post title
• Screenshot of the post status
• The scheduled publish date and time
• The blog page URL
• The time when the issue occurred

This will help the support team diagnose the issue quickly.
