Post Options Not Working

[Em-2]

My scheduled posts in Weebly Dashboard Editor no longer post at the time they are scheduled, and I now have to manually post them. Any suggestions?

My blog is https://www.caringaboutquotes.com/

It's not a big issue because my blog is my personal photo and quotation journal. However, I like the convenience of setting a future post date. It's one less thing to remember.

Thanks for any suggestions or advice.

This is a wider issue, since others have written about it in the Community, as well.  And while not critical, it's a far more significant problem for many, I suspect

I've sent four notes about it to Weebly "Support," but so far they have yet to respond, other than Auto-Replies.

Someone from Weebly did respond on the Community here last week saying that Weebly is aware of the issue and looking into it.  At least they're apparently aware of it, but that charm has its limits.

We have been having the same problem with our museum's history blog, which posts several times a week and we schedule months in advance, and also with my personal website. 

It seems as though it is a Weebly-wide bug that they are working on fixing as one of our posts DID post today as scheduled, but it also posted a previously unpublished post that we had changed the date on after it did not publish. So now a post scheduled for October posted today. SIGH. 

Fingers crossed this gets resolved soon. It's very unprofessional.

Thank you Weebly:

Post Options have been working this week. Thank you, Weebly, for troubleshooting this problem.

I created and maintained a free website for a nonprofit group for about four years. When I had problems, Weebly staff was always helpful. It is the main reason I pay for and use the basic Connect Plan for my personal non-monetized website/blog.

Thank you for posting, and I'm sorry to everyone that we did not see this thread. I wasn't aware of the issue described. Are you saying you can set a post date/time for a blog post you are editing and it is now posting properly? 

[Em-2]

Yes. My scheduled posts started posting again last Saturday. It was shortly after I wrote the post that started this thread. My scheduled posts did not automatically post for about a week prior to that, and I posted them manually. I schedule posts for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings at 2:00 am. I will post a message tomorrow to let you know if the scheduled post for Saturday, September 19 is automatically posted or if I have to do it manually.

Thank you for your response.

Okay, thank you for the update. Glad to hear it is working for you.

There was no problem with my scheduled posts today, Saturday, September 19, 2020. Thank you for everything you do to keep Weebly working.

Thank you again for the update.

The post options have disappeared from the blog editor so no longer able to add tags like before.

Any suggestions?

Hi, @mentor247. 

What do you see on the lower left of the editor when editing a blog post? There should be a blue POST OPTIONS button:
