Yesterday/Today I wrote a blog and the status is “published” but for some reason when I try and test it locally it does not show up. The previous written one seem to be fine, any idea what it could be? This is the meta data: -– title: “North Star in architecture: a guiding vision, not a finished blueprint” date: 2026-08-13 author: Vivek summary: “What ‘North Star’ means in software architecture: where the metaphor came from, how industry uses it, and how a review north star shows up at CycleRunCode Club.” slug: north-star-in-architecture status: published tags: [code, coding, architecture, getting-started] categories: [code, coding] -– Any idea what is wrong? And I am on v3.0.9 ---

Hi @vivek Your front matter looks fine. It’s very difficult (impossible) to say without seeing the site and/or the project. Do you see other posts in the collection? ---

Thanks @ben for looking to help. Since I posted I noticed something interesting: 1. All the previous blogs are visible and not issues with the site (so far) 2. I published it locally around 1700 hours BST 12/08 and it did not show up 3. I tried to change the filename/contents and still it did not show up (locally) 4. Decided to wait for the next day to try, around 0013 hours BST 13/08 I tried and it blog still would not show up locally 5. I changed the date to 12/08 on the blog and tested it worked, changed the date back to 13/08 its not showing up 6. This morning 0835 hours BST and tried it locally, and I can see the blog Not entirely sure what is happening here! It might have been something to do with the Solar Eclipse 😃 I will keep an eye out for this issue and if anything happens will revive this thread until then… ---

It sounds like “published” and the “date” are in conflict. I seem to recall that the CMS doesn’t usually show something if the date is in the future. This brings up something I’ve wanted documented a bit better. A common thing I deal with is NDAs that have a do-not-publish-before date and time. So what’s the best way to do that @ben ? ---

> [@thominator](#): > > A common thing I deal with is NDAs that have a do-not-publish-before date and time. So what’s the best way to do that Set the date and time to a date in the future and ensure the Collection component’s Filters-\>Date is set to “In the past”. Your Collection will then only show the item once the date and time has passed. ![CleanShot 2026-08-13 at 13.59.41@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/f/7/f77ba242110c2ec6af672d92a6fc5910c1bd974b.png) ---

@thominator I have also written some custom styling for table display within MD as current its not supported. Not sure if you have covered it in your document. E.g. [LogViewer: what is coming next (and how it compares)](https://cycleruncode.club/blog/post/?item=logviewer-whats-coming-next) check “**How it compares (short version)**” section
