How can I remove a post I did not intend to be public yet WordPress
- SOLVED
Here's my site --
LivingByFaithBlog.com
I did not intend the Jan 1 post to go public yet.
But I have not been able to stop it from showing up.
I've made it "private." I've rescheduled it for later. Nothing works.
Here's my index.php code if that helps.
Thanks --
<?php
/**
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Grid_Focus
*/
get_header();
?>
<div id="filler" class="fix">
<div id="mainColumn">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" class="post">
<div class="postMeta">
<p class="container">
<span class="date"><?php the_time('M j, Y') ?></span>
<span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></span>
</p>
</div>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
<div class="entry">
<?php if ( function_exists( 'get_the_image' ) ) get_the_image( array( 'image_class' => 'alignleft' ) ); ?>
<?php the_excerpt (); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<div class="post">
<div class="postMeta">
<p class="container">
<span class="date">No Matches</span>
</p>
</div>
<h2>No matching results</h2>
<div class="entry">

</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="paginateIndex" class="fix">
<p><span class="left"><?php previous_posts_link('« Previous') ?></span> <span class="right"><?php next_posts_link('Next »') ?></span></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/second.column.post.php'); ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/third.column.shared.php'); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Just unpublish it.
Fahad Murtaza comments:
Did you try converting it to draft?
SteveFuller comments:
I tried that. I changed the status to "private" and "draft" and also changed the date to Jan 7. But when I log-on it still shows up on my home page.
SteveFuller comments:
I made it "private." Not sure how to change it back to "draft."
Fahad Murtaza comments:
Did you try logging off and then checking. I think it will show up if you are the admin.
SteveFuller comments:
When I go directly to the website (not the dashboard) it shows up on the home page, but the date is January 7.
How can I change the status back to "draft"?
SteveFuller comments:
It does show up on my home page, but the title starts with the word "Private."
Does that mean others cannot see it?
What shows up when you access my site?
Fahad Murtaza comments:
Thats the drop down where you change the status back to draft.
