Check the User Settings i.e user profile. If you are set Contributor on user section, you will not able to publish the post. If its sets to Administrator or Editor, you can publish post.
Are you logged in as admin or another role that has publishing capabilities? Go to your profile and double check that your role hasn’t changed somehow. Otherwise, do you have a plugin related to setting roles/capabilities or for allocating writing/publishing duties?
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I am logged in as admin. When I go to check the role in the user profile, it is not shown. I created a new user and set it as administrator but it is not working. Role options disappeared again when I checked.
I deactivited all plugins but no things chanaged.
Hi
I appreciate if any body can help
I don’t know if this is related or not but I found that I can’t access my ftp :
Command: AUTH TLS
Response: 234 AUTH TLS OK.
Status: Initializing TLS…
Error: Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
Error: Could not connect to server
Still looking for a solution
If you’re sure you have admin capabilities, you’ve disabled all plugins and tried a default theme (at the same time), it’s possible there’s some connection issue or database issue at work.
I believe that if WP can’t make the connection, it will only offer draft or pending options. Likewise if it can’t write to the db for some reason. Log in to your hosting account and database and check (and repair if needed) the tables. While you’re there in your account, check for error logs. If this is all new to you, it might be easiest to just contact your web host and ask them to see what they can find regarding connection issues and your database tables. The database is the heart of your site, so play it safe. (Keep backups!)
There are other possible causes, but I would start with that. Wish I could give you an easy answer.
Glad you got this worked out! Care to share how you did it?
Hi Bill
I don’t know what is was the exact reason.
But i did two things:
I deleted all the inactive plugins and went to phpmyadmin and reset my admin user name and password.
Then it works!
Thanks for posting that. It could help someone else someday. Glad it’s working.
