"There was an error contacting your blog"

Thanks for using the Editorial Calendar. I’m sorry you’re having trouble with it.

The message you are seeing indicates that the calendar had trouble when it contacted your blog to get the information about your posts. This is usually caused by a conflict with another plugin.

As for the Missed Schedule posts that normally isn’t caused by the calendar. The calendar just schedules the posts in the same way WordPress does normally and leaves it up to WordPress to publish those posts.

I would start by tracking down the error contacting your blog issue and then see if you can reproduce the missed schedule posts.

Thanks,
Zack

I was also having this issue. It is interesting that it doesn’t happen very often. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn’t.

I haven’t been able to view / use the editorial calendar since the WordPress 3.6 update

My active plugins are:
– Akismet, All in one SEO pack, Facebook Fan Box, Google Analytics for WordPress, Google XML Sitemaps, Like, Simple Tags, Tweetmeme retweet button, WordPress Editorial Calendar, WordPress plugin – Google +1 button, WP mobile detector

please let me know if there’s a conflict, witch which, or when you plan to update for WP 3.6

I forgot to mention I use WP through Google Chrome
When I try with IE I get this error instead

An error occurred while loading the calendar: Object doesn’t support property or method ‘droppable’
