 * Okay, so i found my problem in another post, but i have a question.
 * First off here is the post: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/24997](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/24997)
 * The code they give to fix it is:
 * UPDATE wp_posts SET post_status = ‘publish’ WHERE post_status = ‘private’;
 * My question is WHERE esactly do i put the code. Im sorry if its a stupid question,
   but im new to this!

 * You have to use phpmyadmin to run that query/command. Go to the database where
   you have WP, click on SQL tab, and paste the code to something like “Run QL Query”
   textbox and hit “Go”
