Hi Joe. I have X connected as well, but it was disabled/hidden. I just removed the X connection entirely. And you’re right, the interface is simpler now – it’s just the “Post/Don’t Post” button.

I checked a few of the upcoming scheduled posts and it seems they’re all set to post.

Let’s see if that helps our situation!

Hi Joe – sorry for not being clearer. It seems to be getting unchecked in the meta box for some of the posts. I can’t figure out why it’s checked for some but not for others.

I’m working with a co-editor on this site who has put “check BlueSky box” in his checklist of pre-publication steps. But I’m still seeing posts not publish to BlueSky occasionally.

FYI these are all scheduled posts. We usually schedule a week or more of daily posts at one time.

Steven, thank you! That was really helpful. I used the health check troubleshooting mode to re-enable plugins one at a time, and found the culprit: A plugin called “Smart Quote Fixer.”

It hasn’t been updated in over a year, and hasn’t been tested with WP 5.5, so I’m disabling it and looking for an alternative now!

Dylan.

@joyously I created a bug report here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/15117

@joyously yes, when I use the code editor to inspect these blocks, the line breaks — which people inserted using “Shift-Enter” — show as <br> tags. (No trailing slash, but it should work the same).

I am not certain how I would apply different styles to the excerpt handling mechanism inside WordPress. Do you have any suggestions?

It seems it is stripping out the <br> tags in Gutenberg blocks, and replacing them with a normal space (” “) in Classic blocks.

@bph Thanks for your reply. The “spacer” block is new to me — I was able to find it, and it does the trick.

Thanks also for the suggestion about making it a reusable block and using the / to call it up. These are all new features that I did not know about yet. Thank you!

I don’t think of blank lines as a “hack” — leading is a basic feature in typesetting and it is often desirable to add extra leading, for instance between different sections of a prose document, between different poems in a collection of poems, etc. Hitting return is a natural way to do this, and the amount of space can easily be controlled in an intuitive way (return twice = two blank lines, etc.). So I am inclined to think that WordPress’s lack of an easy way to add leading is a design flaw that overlooks a common typesetting need actually!

@mattyrob Looks like that did the trick! I was able to remove *all* registered subscribers from the category in one move. Thank you.

Now for a followup Q: Do you have any idea why all these users might have been subscribed to a brand-new category like this?

@mattyrob Thanks. I just tried that, but I got a message saying “No users were selected”, and nothing changed.
