The message “Publishing failed. You are probably offline.” typically indicates that your WordPress site is unable to connect to the server where the WordPress files are hosted, likely due to a network issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this problem:

  1. Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your device is connected to the internet. You can try opening a few websites to confirm that you have a stable connection.

  2. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, the browser cache can cause issues. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then try again.

  3. Disable Browser Extensions: Certain browser extensions, especially those that deal with ad-blocking or privacy, can interfere with WordPress. Try disabling these extensions and see if the problem persists.

  4. Try a Different Browser: The issue might be browser-specific. Try using a different browser or an incognito/private browsing window to see if the issue is resolved.

  5. Check WordPress Site Status: Use a service like Down For Everyone Or Just Me to check if your WordPress site is online and accessible to others.

  6. Contact Your Hosting Provider: There might be an issue with your hosting service. Contact your hosting provider to check if there are any known issues or scheduled maintenance.

  7. Check File Permissions: Incorrect file permissions can prevent WordPress from publishing pages. The recommended permissions are 755 for folders and 644 for files. You can check and change these via your hosting control panel or by using an FTP client.

  8. WordPress and PHP Version: Ensure that your WordPress installation and the PHP version on your server are up to date. An outdated version might cause compatibility issues.

  9. Plugin Conflicts: A plugin might be causing the issue. Try deactivating all plugins and see if you can publish the page. If it works, reactivate the plugins one by one to find the culprit.

  10. Theme Conflicts: Sometimes, the theme can cause issues. Try switching to a default WordPress theme, like Twenty Twenty-One, to see if the problem is with your theme.

  11. XML-RPC Status: The XML-RPC interface is used for certain publishing actions. Check if the XML-RPC is enabled on your WordPress installation; you can usually find this setting under the “Settings” > “Writing” menu.

  12. Staging Environment: If you’re using a staging environment to test changes before pushing them to your live site, ensure that it’s properly set up and connected to your live WordPress installation.

  13. Check for Error Messages: Look for any error messages in your WordPress dashboard under “Tools” > “Site Health” > “Debugging” or in your hosting control panel’s error logs.

  14. Use a Local Development Environment: If you’re comfortable with local development, you can set up a local WordPress installation to work on your site without affecting the live version.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to seek help from a professional or a WordPress support community. Be sure to provide them with as much detail as possible about the issue and the steps you’ve taken so far.
