If your Post isn't showing up on Wordpress - here's what you did

I've been using Wordpress forever and this is the first time I experienced this so thought I'd let a few others know about it.

I had seen someone a few days ago ask for feedback on a post she had posted, but there was no page and she could not figure it out. She had the title on the homepage in the blogroll, but when you tried to click it to open the full page, you got a notice that there was no such page (post).

What happened to her is probably what I just did...

I started to create a PAGE instead of a POST.... but I caught my error after I had already titled it (so that WP gave it a URL already) so I moved the page to trash. Then continued on to make my post and published it... when I went to read my post on my website it was not there.

If you create a page and a post with the SAME TITLE it creates issues.

AND

You cannot simply put the wrong one in the trash - you must DELETE it.

Voila!

Problem solved.
