Autopublishing not working

Hi folks,

I tried searching a few different things and surprisingly could not find a thread on this.

See attached. When trying to use the highlighted feature, it simply DOES NOT WORK. We have to manually push updates rather than have them be auto-published at some specified date in the future.


I would expect this to be a simple feature that requires no further configuration or research. What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,
Fred

You need to set the Publish Date, but not the Published On date (which will be set automatically when the resource is published). You also have to leave the Published setting off. If either of those are on, the Publish Date is ignored.

Keep in mind that unless someone visits the site, MODX isn't running. The resource won't be autopublished until the first visitor stops by after the Publish Date has passed.
