You’re welcome! It sounded like an excellent idea, and I had a moment, so why not?

After you change the date and time of publication of the article, the “Publish” button changes to “Schedule”. Fine. You don’t have to do anything immediately – meaning you can still edit and save the article, at which point it remains a DRAFT. BUT at some point you must actively hit the “Schedule” button, AND (and this is critical), you actually have to hit it TWICE. The first time you hit it, you get a bunch of warnings and suggestions. You may or may not deal with those, and some of those will “undo” the first hitting of “Schedule”. So THEN you are back in a DRAFT stage, even if you save. So again, if you hit “Schedule”, it’s not scheduled – you have to hit “Schedule” for what is now a THIRD time. This can go on, ad infinitum.

Basically, if you don’t hit “Schedule” TWICE IN A ROW, it’s not scheduled. And even when it is scheduled, it will miss the “schedule”, and will actually be published when a different, corrective plugin “kicks it out” within 15 minutes of the “scheduled” time!!!

Yeah. THAT is the reality of WORDPISS.

I know that Jo was using AKISMET, so IMO that behavior was very likely some of the insidious progressive sneakery of WordPress.com which is “outsourced” into Akismet for plausible deniability.

Akismet was basically at war with Duchess, GA/FL, and Scott467. Things have been so much better on “false spam”, “false trash”, and “mystery deletion” since I was able to get rid of it.

Company
akismet.com

Akismet is a service that filters spam from comments, trackbacks, and contact form messages. The filter operates by combining information about spam captured on all participating sites and then using those spam rules to block future spam. Akismet is offered by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com. Akismet was launched on October 25, 2005.

Thank you!

We have an Akismet category, and people can search on it in the search in the sidebar to find several posts related to it.

Here is a place where I talk in detail about how the Akismet scam works.

From what I’ve been able to observe across several sites, it is best to self-administer 24 ml of ethanol per 50 kg of body mass (diluted and flavored to taste) roughly 20 minutes prior to working with WordPiss.

Note that De Pat’s featured recipe for 8/22/24 would qualify.

Oh, where to start.

Let me think about what I had to work around, and I’ll get back to you all. I’ve been at WordPress stuff for over 15 years. So much has changed. Some for the better, most for not.

That will be wonderful!! I have hardly played with it at all. I like making sites with HTML/CSS and am just starting to explore Drupal, just because…

DrupalCon Barcelona will be held September 24-27 [ https://events.drupal.org/barcelona2024 ].

Once again, they have ignored my suggestion to add a subtitle to the event that says, “At Least It’s Not WordPress”.

LOL I was exploring Drupal just yesterday to see if it is something I could do or would want to do. A friend pointed me to content writer openings with AirBNB and that’s some tech they either use or that’s similar to things they do use. Adding content does not look hard but if it is a global company, then they need translations for all the possible languages. eeep! That could be a major pain.

Thank you for this.
Yours Truly would appreciate knowing how to “morph” a URL into a hyperlink “title” (for example, a hyperlink “Joe Sixpack Went to the Store” as opposed to typing in “https: // hi my name is Joe Sixpack at guesswhat . com.”)

Here is a fast explanation.

Let’s say you have something with text in it. It can be a paragraph, heading, quote – whatever. Whatever it is, when you put focus on it, the “block” popup for that block will pop up.

At that point, you can highlight some of the text. Highlight exactly what you want to become a link. THEN, there is a “LINK” button in the block popup that you can hit.
This will give you a link pop-up. You can then PASTE the URL (web address) that you want for the link, into the resulting LINK pop-up, in the field provided for pasting or typing in the URL. Be sure to hit return or click on the “Enter” button that makes the URL active.

That will turn it into a link. THEN, when you click on the linked text, you will get a special link popup that you can use to make changes to the link – like making the link open up the linked URL page in a NEW TAB. I prefer to do that.

Try it and see if it works for you!
