Content refuses to publish

I’m attempting to upgrade an internal V13 project to v15 and have an odd issue.
I can make changes to a document and save them just fine, but when trying to publish the document I get a success toast popup and, in the logs, I can also see a “Document has been published” entry but the content doesn’t actually get published.

The audit entries just show saved, the content that is rendered is the old version as well.

I’ve tried removing all values from the properties in case it was an issue with a specific value with no luck. This seems to only happen with one particular home page document on the site (I have multiple sites in this instance), so I suspect it has something to do with URL generation which I don’t override or customise.

Anyone have an idea of what to try to resolve?

For anyone that finds this, I managed to identify the root cause of this issue. Example content structure is as follows.

  • Home
    • News
      • Article 1
      • Article 2
      • Article 3

In my case, the News node was not published, but some of the items beneath it were published. Not sure how the content got into this state but once I unpublished those child items everything worked as normal.

Think I’ll raise an issue for this as there should be an error instead of a success notification.
