Okay. I just figured this out. You can fix everything with access to your MySQL database and one easy command.

1. Choose the database where your WP blog is living (mysql> use [database_name_here];)
2. Change the post status on all posts to publish (mysql> update wp_posts set post_status = ‘publish’;)

I ran into the same problem when importing several blogs from Movable Type into WordPress 2.5. The posts display on the main page of the blog as if they’re published, but they don’t display as individual posts (permalinks don’t work). This only occurs in IE 6 and 7.

In the “Manage Posts” section the imported posts don’t display as published or unpublished. To make them display in IE 6 and 7 you have to go into each entry and hit publish even though the post is technically published. What 3eamus and I are looking for is a way to batch publish entries so that we don’t have to publish thousands of posts one by one.
