  • What’s your URL? classroomconductor.com
  • What version of Ghost are you using? 1.25.3
  • What configuration? Vultr VPS with Ubuntu 16.04. Followed https://docs.ghost.org/v1.0.0/docs/install
  • What browser? Firefox
  • What errors or information do you see in the console? None
  • What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having? Use Cloudflare for self-hosted Ghost

I’ve discovered that if I use Cloudflare, my scheduled posts don’t publish.
1) What is the mechanism Ghost uses for making a scheduled post go live?
2) My log and error log have nothing in them at post time, but do if I bypass Cloudflare.
3) Nothing in the Cloudflare firewall log, but I’ve whitelisted my server’s IP address just in case.
4) I’ve added a Cloudflare Page Rule to bypass Cloudflare’s security and performance features.

UPDATE: Thread is closed, so I’m editing. I could never get the Cloudflare route to work. My solution was to add my server’s IP address to /etc/hosts for that domain so it makes the call directly, rather than through Cloudflare. This fixed the problem.

1) What is the mechanism Ghost uses for making a scheduled post go live?

For self hosters Ghost triggers a request to an API endpoint to publish the post, see and see.

If you still don’t find the answer and you are using certbot, check out the link below, I know there are some issues with cloudflare going on
