Help! Can’t schedule WordPress posts #lazyweb

Help me lazyweb, you’re my only hope!

I use WordPress here on my home blog and also on LDV. Both, theoretically, have a schedule feature – instead of “Publish immediately” you hit a button and tell it when you want the post to appear.

On LDV it works fine for me – but one of our editors reports it doesn’t work for him.

And on my own blog it doesn’t work, which is a little annoying, because sometimes I write stuff in the middle of the night and would prefer to schedule for the following morning, to give some semblance of leading a relatively normal life.

I click the “edit time” button, and the url for the blog post changes to have #edit_timestamp in it – but the drop down box that’s supposed to appear with the schedule time doesn’t appear, and I’m still left with the “publish now” option.

It can’t be a browser thing because of the inconsistency between two websites. This blog is mostly out of the box, but LDV is heavily improved by our talented tech guy, Ryan Cullen. But I doubt he’s been near that particular bit of functionality.

So woss goin on?
