All posts come into WP as drafts

To your second question, here’s how the plugin works:

• When you create a post from Salesforce, the plugin creates a database row that connects the post with the Salesforce record.
• This database row gets deleted if the plugin is set to track deletions. That is, if you’ve set it to delete the Salesforce record, it’ll get deleted when the post gets deleted. Or vice versa, if you delete the Salesforce record.
• If you don’t set the fieldmap to do that, the database record will stay and will prevent the record from being mapped again.
• If the plugin tries to map a record that has been deleted and it runs into an error, it will create an entry for that on the Mapping Errors tab of the plugin. There’s a little bit of documentation (it should be expanded probably, someday) about that here: https://github.com/MinnPost/object-sync-for-salesforce/blob/master/docs/mapping-errors.md

If you don’t see the row in the Mapping Errors tab, the only way to delete it really is to remove the data from the wp_object_sync_sf_object_map table in the database.

But regardless, if you don’t delete the corresponding row from the database, you won’t be able to remap the same record.
