Case of the missing post

  1. my guess: you created it as a page, not a post (at least that’s what the post’s URL suggests)

  5. Ah, Michael, you nailed it. It was a page and not a post. I wasn’t even aware that there was a difference. Again, a new dashboard/ui. Fixed. Thanks!

  7. you’re welcome!
    this happens to me regularly, since years 😉
