Good afternoon,
I seem to be struggling to schedule articles. Every time I schedule one the time passes without it posting. Please could you advise why this is happening?
Thank you
Matt

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

Is your time zone correctly set?

All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
Search https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=schedule+posts
Results https://en.support.wordpress.com/schedule-a-post/

Have you read the relevant support doc?
Troubleshooting Scheduled Posts https://en.support.wordpress.com/schedule-a-post/#troubleshooting-scheduled-posts

Scheduled posts are triggered for publication by the first visitor to your site after the scheduled date and time.

Our blogs display posts in reverse chronological order, unless there is a timezone issue or a sticky posts issue.

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”.

Edit the post, change the datestamp in the Publish module, and click Update.

All Posts are found here > Dashboard > Posts > All Posts

http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
*replace “/NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of your blog

You hover over the title of the post and click the Edit link, then edit the datestamp in the Publish module and click update.

Note that you can examine these images so you see how to edit posts and change datestamps and timestamps where required.

I also note that http://matthewjjenkins.wordpress.com/ has not been updated since August 18, 2015. And that the domain http://matthewjjenkins.com is not registered. There is also No Domain Mapping Found for it.

What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the site you are referring to please?

This is wordpress.COM support. We cannot answer any questions posted here accurately until we have the relevant URL and have confirmed hosting.

Note that about 30% of those who post here daily are posting to wrong support forum and the answers to wordpress.COM and WordPress.ORG support questions are not the same.

We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. We cannot provide support for sites that are not on our servers. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
(3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page. That support is found at http://jetpack.com/support/

WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

The wordpress.ORG support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

I will double check the time zone, thank you.

It’s for my Blogging site http://www.helpsteermycareer.com

I’ve tried to schedule a few time but with no success.

Thank you for your advice.

Hi Matt –

The scheduled posts will be triggered to publish after the first visit to your site at the set date and time. You can trigger this yourself by visiting the site. Could you share a post that you’ve had trouble with? I’ll be happy to take a closer look.
