Saving a post as Draft will ignore the Publicize checkbox and will not send it to Tumblr.

When you actually Publish the post, if the box for Tumblr is checked, then it will be Publicized to Tumblr. If it's not checked, then it won't be.

I think I see what you're saying now though -- when you uncheck the box, it's not saving the fact that it is unchecked. I'll look into getting that to "stick" (which it should).

The problem I'm having is I have 5-10 drafts/posts scheduled in the next two weeks; however, I don't wish to have ALL of my weekly posts going to Tumblr (just, say, 1-2 a week).

Anyway, so when I go to update my future post(s) and un-check the Tumblr box--the page updates w/the Tumblr box still checked...In other words, all of my upcoming posts are going to Tumblr unless I disconnect everything.

Thanks again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

However, right now, I'm seeing that ALL of my future drafts/scheduled posts are going to Tumblr, whether I uncheck the box or not...

I've tried Disconnecting--but then that loses my 1-2 weekly posts to Tumblr. Is this a bug or a permanent change? Thanks!

Disconnected, despite this remained connected but now looks normal when looking on the 'Publish' thingy on a 'new post' page. Didn't need to reconnect, it seems.

Thanks.

We just put out a fix that will hopefully clear up and remaining weirdness like that.

(But I also see the 'Twitter (2)' thingy and have no idea what it means. That troubles me much less than the involuntary 'publizicing', however.)

I still see Twitter (2) and Linkedin (2) in the "publicize" line, even after I've tried to disconnect.

And I can't save drafts, if I don't want them published...

- saving drafts makes them...publish
- I still see "Twitter (2)" in the Publicize dialog
- as an attempt, I've clicked disconnect LinkedIn. But I can't (I still see the green button: "connected"). As a result: I can't know, now, if Linkedin is connected or not.

Unfortunately that would have linked people back to a "broken" link (since the post wasn't actually published yet), but they wouldn't have seen your unfinished post.

That should now be fixed, and you should be able to schedule a post or save a draft without it being Publicized until it passes the scheduled time for publishing.

We're very sorry for the bug (this is part of some new upgrades coming to Publicize that will hopefully make up for it!)

Even if you desperately turn your blog to private (I had to do that for a few secs, in order to rescue something, and I hoped by turning it private I wouldn't accidentally post to twitter...) -- it still posts drafts to twitter.

I'm not touching my wordpress account until this issue is solved...
