@help @manton I think my attempt to add descriptions to my newsletter posts caused an endless loop. Iā€™ve removed the offending code but my posts are still stuck. Can you help please? Sorry for the mess.

@artkavanagh Have you tried forcing a total rebuild? That may get you unstuck. šŸ˜Š

@sod Thanks, Sven. It doesnā€™t seem to have helped.

@artkavanagh After clicking the rebuild button, do you get any errors in the log below?

@sod Not as far as I can see. Here is a screenshot:

@artkavanagh Yeah, there might be something going on there. A full rebuild takes a while and usually ends with a line like this:

2022-01-20 12:59:52: Publish: Done for artkavanagh

@sod I think itā€™s just repeating the same actions over and over again. For example, Iā€™m seeing this quite often:

Publish: Already queued, scheduling +2 minutes artkavanagh

@artkavanagh Yeah, maybe that's what's happening. Weird that we don't get any error messages. I think @manton has to get involved here. šŸ˜Š

@artkavanagh @sod It looks like your plug-in (which was customized) had a couple of templates with a blank filename, which got Micro.blog stuck. I'll fix this, and for now I've manually renamed those templates to "missing" on your blog so that everything will work again.

@manton Thanks Manton. These may be templates that I deleted yesterday (i.e. after the blog got stuck on Wednesday) because I thought they might be causing the problem. For example, ā€œtabarchiveā€.

@manton Iā€™m wondering if the problem might have had something to do with the fact that the email for Wednesdayā€™s long newsletter post (since deleted) went out before the post itself had finished being published? Will that cause difficulties in future? Anyway, thanks: it all seems to be working now. // @sod

@manton @sod Judging by the files you renamed, it looks as if I was trying to put JSON data files in the wrong place (i.e. in the data folder instead of a subfolder). Sorry about that.

@artkavanagh @sod Glad it's working now. I'm rolling out a fix for this today so it won't happen again.
