Post scheduler not functioning
-
I’ve been using the scheduling tool for posting for a while now. I only get a couple of days a week to write and since I want my posts to continue throughout the week it has been a very helpful tool.
Since last week though I have been having difficulty with the scheduler. I set my date and time via the calendar drop-down and then click on schedule. Shortly afterwards I receive notification stating that my post has just been posted or it is back-posted several days.
I can go back and re-schedule the post to the date and time I want, but the post has already gone live … a little beside the point by then.
This is really messing with what I want to be doing with my blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello,
I found some information about backdating that may explain why your posts being are back-posted. https://en.support.wordpress.com/schedule-a-post/
(It’s in a Note box right before you get to Republishing a Post.)Some scheduling tools have 24 hour format which can trip a user up because it will say 13:00 instead of 1:00 p.m. and would post at 1:00 a.m. when a user needed 1:00 p.m.
Before scheduling, re-check date and time just to be sure.

I hope this helps.

Know that scheduled posts do not actually publish until a visitor clicks into the site after the scheduled date and time.
To confirm your timezone is correct know the default timezone is UTC time. You can reset your timezone here > Settings > General. Select the closest city to you in the same timezone in the drop-down menu you see there and then click “save changes”.
You can edit the post and change the datestamp and timestamp and click update. These images may be helpful:
