Scheduling new posts error
Kham1989 and MyUsernameNotAvailable and Helen Cummings
If your issue is that you're using a custom content type in the SitePages library, the following should get Scheduling working for the custom content type.
This was my reference for the following:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/troubleshoot/sites/cant-schedule-publish
in contenttype hub > site pages > settings
turn on versioning, major and minor versions
in /sites/contentTypeHub/SitePages/Forms/AllPages.aspx
turn on Scheduling
in SharePoint admin centre
https://xxxx-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/AdminHome.aspx#/contentTypes
find the content type "Comm site page" in my case
When you open it you'll see "Publish Start Date" as a new column ( I assume this is because my custom content type is based on the default "Site Page" content type, so it has inherited this.)
Publish > republish
should take 15mins to flow down to all the libraries using that content type
reference for all this (except the turn on major minor versions)

After doing this, then go to the site(s) you want to schedule news from, and from site -> settings -> site content types, update the content type to pick up the added versioning properties.
