    I think I may have fixed it… somehow!

    I made a new database & wp blog. I imported my husband’s posts to see if it may have been my post entries that was messing it up. And his posts worked! I could edit, delete & publish new posts. Everything seemed to work fine. So… I imported MY old posts as well to see what would happen. And it worked! Everything seems fine now.

    BUT — I must mention. Before I exported my old files I did a little cleaning up first. I logged into MyPhpAdmin and took a look at my wp_posts table in my WordPress Database. I noticed A LOT of “drafts” that were basically empty. I deleted all of them. I then logged into my wordpress and exported all my files. Once I imported them to my NEW WP, everything was fine.

    So I’m guessing my wp_posts table just needed to be cleaned up a little? /shrug — but everything seems to be fine now — woot! 🙂

    I did that very thing, Tom. I deleted my database & installed an entirely new Word Press on a new database. 😐

    It’s strange — because they worked fine on the WP.com blog. No errors that I noticed. But when I imported them to a server based WP, that’s when it messes up. I thought it was the database but I created an entirely NEW one. I wonder if it’s the Importer Plug-in I am using. (I’m using the one that WP recommended under Tools > Import.

    *** Update ***

    Okay… the problem is DEFINITELY in my posts that I’m trying to import. I made an entirely new Database & Test WP where I imported my husband’s posts over. I had no issue — I am able to edit & delete them as well as create new blog posts. So something is definitely wrong with my blog posts. 🙁

    That’s exactly how I did it, Richard.

    Hmm. So I created a WordPress.com blog and imported all of my old posts/comments/pages to that one and it worked. I was able to delete posts, edit them and also Publish new ones.

    However, when I exported the posts from the WP.com blog to import on my Website-based blog… the same issues occurred. I’m not able to delete, edit, or publish anything. 😐 This is so weird.

    Thanks, Tom. I created a WP.com blog and am now importing my old posts. It’s processing now. We will see how this works out. 🙂

    And yes, it does seem like I do not have permission to delete, edit, or make new entries. Let me explain this as well: I AM able to create posts but each time I submit them to be published they are saved as drafts (in WP version 3.0) if I do the same thing in WP version 3.2.1 it says I’m submitting for review.

    You attempted to edit a post that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted?

    That’s the error I get when trying to edit the “drafts” I have made after the whole mess-up.

    I am, however, able to edit all the posts I’ve made PRIOR to WordPress messing up on me.

    I’m just not able to delete the drafts I’ve made nor make publish anything new. 😐
