Support » Fixing WordPress » Future-dated posts uploaded via XML-RPC publish immediately in WP 4.4

  • I write my blog posts using MS Live Write. I regularly use Live Write’s “Set Post Date” feature to schedule a future post. I’ve been doing it for years. Today I published a post from Write scheduled for December 11 at 12:00 AM (tonight at midnight), but the post went live immediately upon upload.

    I went to the WordPress admin interface and edited the post. It showed “Published on” 12-Dec 11, 2015@05:00 (what I would expect as I am in the GMT – 5 timezone), and the article is “published.”

    If I just hit Update in the Post editor in the WordPress admin interface, without changing anything, the Status changes to Scheduled.

    In further testing, I set a post to be published at 11 PM tonight (5 hours from now), uploaded from Write, and it Scheduled.

    I updated it for midnight (12 AM) 6 hours from now, uploaded, and it Published. I updated it in the admin interface and it switched to scheduled.

    I set it for 1 AM (7 hours from now) and uploaded and this time the admin status in the All Posts list was “missed schedule,” but “Scheduled” in the Edit post. I clicked update in Edit Post and went back to the posts list and it changed from “missed schedule” to “scheduled.”

    This may be an AM/PM thing or something. Everybody knows 12 AM is midnight, right?
