## **📝 Overview**

If you scheduled a blog post for the wrong website inside Content Genius → Content Planner, and when trying to change it the "Schedule Blog Post" button appears disabled (greyed out), this is not a sync error. This happens when required WordPress publishing fields are incomplete.

## **🧭 Navigation Path**

4. **Complete required fields:** scroll down and make sure Author, Categories, and Parent (if applicable) are filled in. If any required field is empty, the Schedule button will remain disabled.

5. **Click "Schedule Blog Post":** once all required fields are filled, the button becomes active. Click it to re-sync and schedule the post correctly.
6. **Refresh the page:** after scheduling, refresh the page to confirm the updated publishing status reflects correctly in the interface.

## **🔴 Why This Happens**

The Schedule button remains disabled when required WordPress fields are empty, or when the publish status wasn't reset before attempting to re-sync. This is expected system behavior and does not indicate a WordPress connection issue.

## **❓ FAQs**

- **Is this a WordPress sync error?** No, it's a required field validation issue.
- **Do I need support to fix this?** No, completing the required fields and refreshing the page resolves the issue.
