Description
Here's the flow that I was working through:
- Scheduled about 15 posts to be published on the site at a later date.
- Decided I wanted to just publish them now.
- Used Bulk Edit to change the status of all of the posts to published. Saved
- Went about my business thinking they were published
- Later visited the site and they weren't published.
6 Went back into the posts and they're still marked as scheduled.
- Had to manually go in and change the date on each post to get them published.
This was really, really annoying. Especially since, as I was able to take the action of Bulk Edit -> change status to published, I thought that what I had done had worked. There was no indication that it hadn't.
This could be solved in a number of ways:
- If a user bulk edits and selects publish, the date on the post is changed to the current date and time and the posts are published as expected.
- If posts are scheduled and the user selects them to bulk edit, there is no option to change the status to published.
- If the user takes the action of trying to change the status of scheduled posts to published, the message is changed from "# Posts Updated" to "Scheduled posts have not been published."

TracTickets for help on using

Changing the ticket type of this to a bug, as the behavior is as expected (published a scheduled post) in the quick edit as well, which is essentially bulk-edit for a singular post
