What To Do When WordPress Won’t Publish Your Post - Hero Image

Have you tried publishing a post in WordPress Hosting website, but the process has been much more difficult than it needed to be?

Sometimes, even scheduled posts may not publish for some reason, which is even more problematic, since you may not even realize it until later.

This is a common WordPress error that usually can be fixed after trying a few troubleshooting tricks. Here are some steps to take when you’re having trouble publishing a post in WordPress.

Disable And Reactivate Plugins

Many times, the source of the issue will be at the plugin level. The first thing to do is to disable all plugins you have activated on your website. If you’re able to publish the post after doing this, then you know it’s a plugin causing the problem.

Next, you’ll want to start reactivating the plugins individually and try publishing a post in WordPress each time after you reactivate one. Be sure to follow this process with each plugin to identify all potential issues. When you come across the plugin that’s not allowing you to publish a post, disable it permanently and your problem should be alleviated.

Try A New WordPress Theme

If all of your plugins check out, then the next place to look is your WordPress theme. Try disabling the current theme you have and activating a default one. Then try publishing a post in WordPress. If it works, you’ve solved the problem and may need to select a new theme.

Also, if you have recently added any code to your theme or if the theme was updated in any way, there may be an issue with the update. You could try reverting back to a previous version and testing it to potentially identify the issue as well.
