Tried to put my LFG listing back up, it's been over 24 hours

So, the 5e campaign I’ve been running just lost a player, and I was going to look for a new one. I tried putting the listing back up again, and it’s been well over 24 hours and the game is still listed as NOT SHOWN. I’m fairly certain it didn’t take this long when I put it up the first time, so, I guess I’m just wondering whether I ought to just give it some more time or if something’s gone wrong. Sorry if that's a bit vague but I'm not sure how else to describe the issue. I’m typically a player and not a DM so I haven’t had to poke around with this stuff all that much in the past.

Hey Regula,  The most likely issue is: You checkmarked that the game is for Age 18 and up (Mature), and when you're looking for your Listing in the LFG you are not selecting the checkmark to show 18-and-up games.  Double check, and if it's not that, reply here again, tell the Name-Title of the game listing, and we can try more troubleshooting steps. 
also make sure your game day date is updated. If not, it will not list, is it assumes the game has ended.
Thank you for trying to help. But no, I don't think either of these things are the problem. The game is definitely not showing up for anyone, and the game day date is updated.  When I'm on the Game's Details Page and click on the Looking for Players button it says (disabled) next to it, but there appears to be no way to re-enable it. The listing status has no button to push to put it back up. I'll include a screenshot.

My games have a pink box under Listing Status explaining why they aren’t shown and how to correct it. Sine you’re missing that, did you disable listing at some point? I did that on a game once, and it took a bit of work to undo it.  I now disable listing by setting the Total Players Needed to 2 once I’ve got enough players.
Thank you Andrew. It's now being shown. Though I have to assume this wasn't working as intended. Because, there was a spot open. But when I lowered the Total Players Needed to 0, and then changed it up to 7, giving the game two open spots, it suddenly popped up immediately.  But yeah, finally seems to be fixed, so, thanks a bunch!

Hi Regula,  One of the oddities of the LFG tool is you have to add +1 player needed or it won't show up. In your screenshot I see you have it set to 6. I don't think dropping it to 0 did anything, but changing it to 7 did.  What is happening is that in some places on Roll20 the Game Owner is not being counted in the player count, but in others the Game Owner is counted. So, you need to increase the number of players you are looking for by 1 more than the number you are actually looking for.
