Anyway to un-publish the blog?

yosoufe

Hi,

 

Is there any way to un-publish a blog? I am writing a blog and save it as a draft. And sometimes I click on "publish" instead of "save as draft" by mistake. Is there anyway to undo it?

 

It is not possible to easily delete the blog and recreate it, because I need to upload the images and videos again. Otherwise clicking on the copied image, results in "image not found" error message.

 

Even a pop question, asking for confirmation like "You are going to publish the blog. Are you sure? Continue?" or something like that would be useful to avoid publishing by mistake.

 

Thanks

    Tthere isn’t a way to unpublish and this does catch people out - Jan’s suggestion is the best for when you do it.  The workaround we’ve settled on is to set a publish date as soon as you create the blog post, before typing anything.  Click on advanced at the bottom, then set the publish date a long way into the future.  That way, even if you do press Publish instead of Save as Draft, nothing will appear until the date.  When you are ready to actually publish it, then just remove the date and publish.
