Thank you! I think you hit the nail on the head. But I’m still a little lost on how to address the problem with my host…

I called Bluehost and tried to investigate the caching problem. I didn’t get the sense that the person on the phone knew quite what he was doing, though. He cleared the cache on the server and the product immediately showed up! But then when I tried to post a new one, it again did not appear. The Bluehost rep didn’t seem to acknowledge any caching features at the server level existed and essentially gave up on me and told me to hire a developer.

If this is a server level issue, then this is a problem only Bluehost can solve by adjusting their caching features, correct? What terminology should I use when I call Bluehost again?

Thanks again!

Update: The products appeared in the store sometime after midnight the same day… Maybe I’m an idiot and have the date / time thing wrong on WP but it’s set to my region and as far as I know setting a scheduled post to 12:00 means noon.

I’m beginning to thing this may be a cron issue. I activated the WP Crontrol plugin and ran all of the Woocommerce actions with a test product to see if that would make a difference and publish the unseen product. No luck. I know nothing about cron, but it sounds like it could also be server-related? My site is also low traffic. Should I look into this alternate cron option or closer at scheduled cron tasks?

Thank you in advance for your help!
