 * After a database issue, I had to import (myphpadmin) some posts from an old DB
   to the news DB.
 * While import was successful and the posts are in the database (I can see them
   but they have “inherit” instead of “publish” on them) they are not showing up
   on the dashboard or in the posts section of WP.
 * Any thoughts? Just spinning my wheels here.
 * thanks in advance

 * As a test…..are you able to go into the database and modify the post status on
   one of the imported posts from inherit to publish to see it will make it available
   in dashboard as normal.
 * can you see any other posts in the database that might be same name/title/content
   but are not published yet?

 * I had tried that, no joy 🙁
 * Yes, we are missing a bunch of posts that are on the database but not showing
   up on the dash or the site.
 * the other interesting thing…is that photos that were attached to the posts while
   missing from the media section on the site, are still visible if you use the 
   url. If you upload a missing photo it changes the name to photo1.png.
 * Too strange.

   resolve this Kburrows?
