    Blog posts not visible

    I work with a company that recently began using Umbraco. I'm able to create blog posts in Umbraco, save and preview them, but they are not showing up on our blog list page and they are not searchable. The created URL works, and I can preview the blog posts. But that's it. 

    Any thoughts/information would be greatly appreciated! We recently built a new website, and I am in the process of transfering blog posts from the old site to the new one. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here...

    Hi Richard and welcome to our :)

    Are you a content editor or a developer of the site? Do you see an "Save and publish" option on the posts?

    Perhaps it's been setup so someone needs to approve your changes before publishing the page. Or perhaps you just save the posts? Saved posts can be previewed but are not visible since they're not being published.

    If you could share a screendump of your editor options that might help figuring out what options you have and if that is the reason.

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    Thanks for the response, Jan.

    Here's a bit more detail. We sought external agency help for creating/developing our new website. Our CMS tool is Umbraco. They handed control over to our organization a few days ago, and I was made an admin in charge of transferring blogs from the old site to the new (listed as "Editor" in Umbraco User settings).

    enter image description here

    As you can see from the image, this blog post in particular has been created. It has been saved and published, and the URL directs to the blog page. However, despite all of this, the blog post will no show up on the blog list page as others have. I've created/saved/published 3-4 blog posts, and I am faced with the same difficulty -- they're not showing up. Worse, other blog posts are disappearing from the list page as I create these.

    Hi Richard

    Thanks for sharing the screendump.

    I honestly think you need to contact the agency about this since it's their deliverable that perhaps has a bug that needs to be fixed. Otherwise they at least need to explain to you how the blog is supposed to be working.

    It could be an issue in some of their code that has not been tested properly. It's hard for anyone else to tell since we don't know what the code behind it all looks like.

    But yes the post does indeed seem to be properly created and published.

    Apart from the advice above there is one thing you could try - But no guarantee it will work though...but try right clicking the "Content" node and select "Republish entire site". This updates the cache of the website and perhaps that is what is needed in order to have the blogpost show up.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers, Jan
