I tried both exporting an org file into html and publishing and didn't
get any syntax highlighting for either case. Had a closer look and
noticed it didn't look like htmlize was being loaded. Did a (require
'htmlize) and did both an export and publish, betting syntax
highlighting for both.

My suspicion is that for the publish option, htmlize wasn't loaded?
Maybe worth doing an explicit require and then call org-publish directly
and see if that makes any difference.

Below is the basic publish alist setting I used. Doubt all the slots are
relevant - it was just a snippet from another project I grabbed to get
setup. 

I also run M-x org-publish <ret> orgfiles <ret> rather than the export menu.

(setq org-publish-project-alist
      '(("orgfiles"
         :base-directory "~/playground/org/"
         :base-extension "org"
         :recursive t
         :publishing-directory "~/Public"
         :publishing-function org-html-publish-to-html
         :exclude "PrivatePage.org"
         :html-style-default ""
         :html-scripts ""
         :html-htmlize-output-type 'inline-css
         :html-doctype "html5"
         :html-html5-fancy t
         :html-validation-link nil
         )))
