Blog Error

That's what I thought, but I wanted to confirm before going through the steps.

I upgraded both Perch and the Blog app to the latest version, but I'm experiencing a strange issue. If I create a new post and try to publish it doesn't show up in the post list, but if I first save the new post as a draft and then change this to publish and save again it shows up in the post list.

Any ideas of why this would be happening?

It appears I updated everything correctly. I'm not using categories, but do these need to be installed for the blog app to work correctly?

No errors in debug, but I think I figured out the issue. I have the following in my template:

<perch:blog id="authorN" type="text" label="Author" required="false" />

If I leave this field blank it doesn't show up in the list, but if I include something in this field it does show up.

The same field in included in my post_in_list.html

Actually there might be some debug errors. Do you get anything from this?

That tag is still being used, it's just now required. How should I configure it so it works?

I have a field that allows posters to manually enter an authors name versus selecting one from the drop down list.

<perch:blog id="authorN" type="text" label="Author" required="false" /> is placed between <h4></h4> tags.

I think it might be a cache issue. I just left this field blank and published. It didn't show up in the list on my current browser. I pulled up the list on a different browser and it was showing up fine.

Just to confirm, when you say remove the "author" tags do you want me to completely remove <perch:blog id="authorN" type="text" label="Author" required="false" /> or just the label="Author?

I removed it completely, but my test post still didn't immediately appear in the list in Chrome. When pulled the page up in Safari it was there.

After clearing my cache in Chrome it appeared.
