I had drupal installed, running well with some example content and the forum, views, flag, and mollum modules installed and enabled. I tested out a flag set to "report inappropriate content" which triggered the flagged post to be unpublished after being flagged and now none of the users with administrative permissions can change content from unpublished to published. New content being posted is also unpublished by default with no way to transition it to published (the content administration page has no effect). Not sure where this went wrong, as just after testing the flag, everything was fine, but a little while later, I couldn't publish things anymore. Maybe this is something Mollum caused?
I have already uninstalled and removed all non-core modules, and am still having the same issue. I also applied the recent update, with no change. I have searched the forum for similar scenarios, but have not found that any of the previously recommended solutions have any effect. Is there a tool to verify the database? Do I need to rebuild the site from scratch again? Any recommendations appreciated.

Just adding some additional information...
I looked in the logs and something odd is happening. When I set content to published, it stays unpublished and there is a new log entry saying that I unpublished the content. Does this mean that the content gets published briefly and is then immediately unpublished by some automatic means? All 3rd party modules are currently disabled. Very strange. I will keep looking for the cause of this behavior.
matt, did you ever find a
matt,
did you ever find a solution? We're having the exact same identical issue with content, regardless of content-type now. Everything remains unpublished even after ticking off the publish checkbox.
Fix?
Same issue here, started after installing Flag module and setting up actions.
Actions
I had created an action to unpublish content with inappropriate keywords.
Even thought my content didn't contain these keywords, when I deleted this action, the problem was solved.
