   portfolio post types ([https://bell-computing.com/en/home/portfolio/](https://bell-computing.com/en/home/portfolio/))
   [https://bell-computing.com/en/home/arm/](https://bell-computing.com/en/home/arm/)

   have these entries that I can’t access in wp admin

 * Wordpress has the ability to create new custom post types. But, They are not 
   accessed the same as your normal post. So even if they are in your database it
   would take a custom loop to access the new post type. Example Post and Pages 
   are both post types displaying the archive for pages doesn’t display your post
   as well. If they are showing up when you display your post they have to be of
   type post. All Your posts are stored in the same database table called wp_post.
   You can use phpmyadmin to query the wp_post table searching for the title of 
   the post. Once you find it there a field called post_type. It will tell what 
   post type the post belongs. I’m not sure if it is safe just to delete the post
   from the database or if it might cause a problem somewhere else. Not sure if 
   this helped any but good luck.

 * I think you might be looking in the wrong place. It looks like that could just
   be a page for a media gallery upload. Search your media gallery for arm.jpg.

 * D’oh, yeah it was an image in the media library. I think I can suppress image
   indexing?
