Publicize sends posts too soon.

I have Publicize for Twitter enabled for my blog and I schedule my blogs posts for later delivery. But Publicize sends the tweet when I compose the post, not when it is actually posted. So the tweet appears 5-7 days before the blog post.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s as far back as I went.

Given time zone differences where I am, it would appear that with the exception of your last post on October 6, the other tweets were sent at the time you published your posts.

Is it possible that you had originally scheduled your last post to publish on October 1st or that there was a problem in scheduling the post that may have caused it to be published, however briefly, on October 1st?

Thanks for the quick reply. Regarding the possibilities you mention, would changing the original posting schedule not also change the Tweet schedule? If it doesn’t, I think that should be pointed out to users.

The second possibility is supported by the fact that I absolutely cannot find a way to schedule a post without first hitting the “publish” button first. (I’m working off the iPad app) If you can steer me through that process it might solve the problem.

Please note that I am not staff, but another forum volunteer. :)

I’m working off the iPad app

Regretfully, that bit of information was missing from your initial post and it could have saved us both a bit of time. Could you please head over and post this in the iOS forum? http://ios.wordpress.org/

You may have to register there if you don’t have an ORG username/password.

It’s nice of you to put in volunteer time on behalf of WordPress. Sorry I didn’t recognize the importance of the iPad aspect or know that there exists a separate forum just for ios. Thanks for your help.
