[Solved] How can I publish a post in my drafts?

Problem

Currently, when I look at my dashboard, I see several drafts that I've imported via RSS.

I have "DRAFT", "EDIT", and "DELETE" buttons. Under each post

However, none of those buttons appears to give me the ability to actually publish a post. And unlike authoring this post, when I click "SAVE POST", it appears to revert back to the unpublished post, rather than publishing it.

Anyone know how I can actually get some of these out into the wild?

Solution

The post has a published: false piece in the frontmatter. Change it to true.

Note that deleting it will not help, it need to be set to true.

I have given the title but it's still showing that title not be blank? I don't know what happens?

Yup, I also missed the attribute published: false, and was wondering if it gets published automatically after following some process like Editorial approval etc.

Thank you!

Publish button is needed - it is a fundamental UX/UI concept! Has somebody raised a feature request already?
