If the Publishing Queue shows the item stuck at Waiting for Publish

The 'Waiting for Publish' message means that the publish transaction is stuck in the Publisher Queue. If this problem does not resolve itself over a short period of time, consider what might be causing a heavy load.

The following causes may cause the Publisher Queue to fill up:

  • Too many users are submitting content for publishing at the same time.
  • Your publish transaction involves the republishing of a huge amount of items. For example, publishing a Folder may trigger the publish or republish of tens of thousands of items.
