I have noticed when I make drafts of future posts and set the date and time in my Wordpress admin area to auto publish, Nothing happens, They just stay as drafts until I publish them. Anyone else have this problem or am I doing something wrong?
You not only have to set the date to the future, you have to publish them - from there, they will appear (and ping) around the time you've set.
I am using this feature since long time without having any problem. Hope you go through entire process properly. Add post, set upcoming date and time and published thats all. DON.
Thanks But let me cleary understand, I make my draft, set the date and time, hit publish and instead of draft publishing right then, it will publish on the date and time I set?
Yeah i got confused at first where i had set the date and couldn't understand why it had not published, checked and double checked and realised that without actually clicking publish its not going to publish on the set date.
