Hi there,

I've just run into a problem I've never had before and I can't figure out what's going on. There are a few nodes on my site (http://starpals.org) that I cannot publish. I don't encounter any error messages, but when I edit the post and change the status, or change it on the node edit page, nothing happens.

Unfortunately, I can't narrow it down to one particular type of node, since I've got multiple nodes of each type and some will publish and some will not.

Can someone please help me? I'm at a loss here.

Hi,

Just wanted to post an update on the situation: it appears that the nodes I can't publish are new posts of the custom content type "News Item". I changed the settings after creating the first few nodes, and the first ones appear just fine, but if I edit them or create a new post, I can't publish it.

Can anyone help me?

I can't publish any of these! Not having any issues with other content types, including "Lesson Plan" and "Downloadable resource". I still have no clue what is causing this.

I'm logged in as UID1, so it shouldn't be a permissions problem. I can't find anything remotely resembling my problem anywhere on the web. Anyone? And ideas?

do you have any access control modules installed? if so, try rebuilding the node permissions. Also, try clearing the cache. If that doesn't do anything try disabling all contributed modules-- if the problem goes away add them back one by one until you find the culprit.

I did try rebuilding the node permissions—it didn't help. I will try clearing the cache and disabling contributed modules and let you know how it goes.

Thanks!

Turns out the problem was related to the "watchlist" module.

Thanks!!

Thanks for that.I was wondering why I couldn't publish anything anymore.

You reminded me to look at my Watchlist setting which I had been messing with earlier and I found that I didn't really understand the implications of pre-moderating content types.

I disabled pre-moderation on Stories and I could publish again

I think I need to revisit the Watchlist manual :)

Hi,

I'm beginner to drupal. I'm using Drupal 6.13. I got a problem similar to this. I can create content, group, image,... in my site with enabling 'Published' option and save them with out any bug, but in the admin/content/node shows all posted content's status as 'not published'. And then i clicked on the Edit tab of the content and i saw Publishing Options are changed. 'Promoted to front page' and 'Sticky at top of lists' are selected and 'Published' option tick was removed. i changed again but got the same problem.

Then i checked Workflow settings default options in content types (admin/content/node-type). All selected the 'Published' option as default option.

Can some one help me to resolve this problem?
