Posts Always Saved As Draft; Cannot Publish

    Hi,

    I’m using WP 2.6.2 and lately when I hit “Publish”, my posts are saved and not published—and there seems to be no way to force them to publish.

    http://www.flagstafffrenzy.org

    I’m wondering if this is a permalink problem. My posts organize bike rides among friends, and since we often do similar rides, the post titles are the same. Technically, this shouldn’t matter, as I’m using the “Day and Name” structure:

    /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%

    I’ve seen similar unsolved topics on the forum, but they were for WP 2.5.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    When you say not published, whats the status of the message when you edit them and check the time for publishing – if your local time settings are not in your timezone you wont prob see the post being published for at least upto 24 hours. Go to setting in admin menu to check your time.

    hotkee,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I just checked my local time settings, and I’m set for UTC -6, which is Mountain Standard Time, so it should be right.

    Strangely, one of the posts that would not publish, just did after I logged out. That’s odd.

    Just make sure your blog time zone is set properly to your local area and that when you publish the post time is set to current editing time – otherwise you will get a delay if post time is future.

    hotkee,

    Again, thanks. Actually, this time (it’s happened a few times), I tried “backdating” the post when it was not publishing, but that wasn’t the issue.

    I’m wondering if there’s a database issue with slugs or some-such. Of course, the fact that it published after I logged out this time complicates matters.

    The problem persists.

    It seems only to happen with posts that have names I’ve used before, but not with posts with entirely new names. I’m using the ‘day and name’ permalink structure and tried going back to the default structure, which did nothing.

    I’ve de-activated all plugins. No luck there. I’ve replaced the wp-db.php file and added an ‘.htaccess’ file to wp-admin as suggested elsewhere. No luck there either.

    Anyone had this problem in 2.6.2?
