Events set to draft

[Harvey Dockstader]

All my events are showing “draft” status… http://nimb.ws/FtY6Zu
but each is actually published… http://nimb.ws/HaUoFj
I can’t change it using the “quick edit”..
How is this possible?
And they are not showing..

Hi Harvey

What you are seeing is a typical expected outcome of WordPress posts. Our “Events” are actually a WordPress custom post type, and follow the way WordPress posts would be handled.

The events you have are scheduled to be published in 2018, so they are considered a draft until they are published. There isn’t a good way to have an event in the future be a scheduled post.

That said, you are able to publish future events, but do not need to schedule them. Whatever date you have as the event date does not need to be the date that the post is published. You can publish a post now for any date in the future. Scheduling would instead cause the event to not be publicly viewable until that date. Does that make sense?

Let me know if this resolves the issue for you.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
