Ask Agaric: Page not publishing

I'll be providing way more detail than necessary in an educational, about Drupal manner...

For this problem simply, when editing the page or creating it in the first place, click on publishing options (right above the Preview/Submit buttons) and select Published, and submit.

Member organizations are not published by default because anonymous users are allowed to create them, so they should be reviewed first. (A hundred dollars in custom development, and I'll finally make a module to set publishing defaults by role, so the extra two clicks of selecting Published can be skipped.)

So the other place to publish unpublished content:

Administer » Content management » Content
http://example.com/admin/content/node

It's listed most recent first, and you can filter by unpublished. (It's also possible to set up a view or another module that shows unpublished by default, like the comment moderation queue does.) There are in fact a lot of user submissions that aren't published. They look legitimate, but should be reviewed.

This content view listing allows you to select multiple nodes (items of content, including individual and organization member pages) and select Publish under Update options and perform the update en masse.
