Can’t unarchive posts

    I wanted to remove the archived status from the 1,442 posts currently archived. When I archived them, I used the bulk edit feature to change the status to archived. Now when I use bulk edit on the archived posts, there is no status option available. I started publicly publishing them one by one yesterday and got through 10. Today those posts are archived again. I published them again one by one and a few hours later, they’re archived again. I can’t delete the plug-in because then I lose access to those posts. I can’t edit the status in bulk, so have to do it1,445 times,, but they keep reverting back. Please help! There has to be an easier way to publish them all at once, then maybe delete the plug-in before they archive again?

    There seem to be two issues but on the recent versions of this plugins neither issue should exist

    Firstly you should be able to use bulk edit in the normal way to change the status on large numbers of posts from archive to publish. Have you tried this?

    Secondly the change in post status should trigger the deletion of the the archive date stored in post meta that forces the status to archiven when it is past.

    Are you on the latest version? If so have you deactivated all other plugins as it could be that one of them is preventing the post meta deletion that I mentioned above?

    resolving for good order, but I will still monitor the thread and reopen if appropriate.
