I discovered that I had enabled a setting to automatically move post to pending if it had more than 2 links. That explains WHY it’s happening, but not how to find all pending messages and publish them.

I have a feeling I may have to go into MySQL for now…can’t find how to publish these otherwise

I tried logging in as a “SUPERADMIN”, editing a post and then clicking submit. Looking at the MySQL table I can see that the status switched to “pending” again.

Does that help?

I went to dashboard>users>all users and edited the user. I could not find any “role”, but the user is NOT a superadmin (box not checked)

I don’t see the word bbpress anywhere in the user’s settings.

I tried disabling my SEO plugin and those filters disappeared. The only other BBpress related plugin I have is for images, so i disabled that and no change to the filters.

I suspect something is interfering with the selectors / filters appearing that would allow me to approve posts (change from pending), or make approval related buttons appear (just guessing)

Any suggestions for a fix for the above?
Or, can I turn of ALL moderation so everything is automatically approved? I could not find such a setting.

I don’t see any DRAFT or PENDING options for the filters (only dates / SEO scores / Readbility scores / forums ). I suspect some SEO plugin is offering those.

Am I looking in the wrong spot? Dashboard > topics > all topics, then filters at the top of the table? (I would past a screen shot but haven’t figured out pastebin yet)

Above that I have links to filter based on: All / Mine / Published / Closed / Cornerstone content

You’re right – we cross posted. I see your point about the language in the URL…so that post is visible. Maybe a bad example.

I found another post that I can NOT find in my forum! Post number 6855, and in the database the post_status is marked as “pending”. Is that a clue?

Do I have to change the status of a post from Pending to “publish”? I’m wondering if I editted a post and then it goes missing. Do I have to approve my own post change?

I’m new to bbpress so trying to figure it out…wondering if this is my own doing. How can I see posts needing approval and how do I approve them (or change from “pending’)? Is that something I can switch off, since only I create/edit posts?

I tried to find the topics table in the wordpress database, and found one of my missing posts in the wp_12_posts table!

I’m not sure if this is normal, but I have wp_X_posts for 5/6/7/8/9/10/11 (replace X is table name). Is it correct to have posts in various wp_X_posts tables?

Next..looking at the row attributes for a sample post that is missing, I see:
post_status: inherit
comment_status: closed
ping_status: closed
menu_order:0
post_type: revision

Any clue there what’s wrong? Do I have to somehow force bbpress to regenerate indexes/names/etc?

Here is a post that should exist but now reports 404:

Sample missing post link

[@ocglimited Participant 3 days, 10 hours ago]

I didn’t know I could do that…but I looked there and the topics in question are missing.

Is there a MySQL table I can check to see if they are there? (Or how do I proceed from here)
