post as pending rather than keeping it published.

### Usage Documentation

Click the button if you no longer want the post published.

## Installation

 1. Upload the contents of `unpublish.tar.gz` to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
