Cannot publish post - stuck as Draft

Hi, I have a Post that refuses to move off DRAFT status. It was originally a Page but I changed it to a Post. Could that have something to do with it?
Thanks
Hi Matt,
The post/page functionalities are all handled by WordPress itself so this shouldn't be a theme issue.
Is the issue only happening to that one post?
If so it might be easier to just recreate the post.
Hi Leo,
I may have up to 32 pages that need to be changed over to posts. I'd rather not recreate them - unless there's a quick way I can copy whole pages (blocks etc) and paste them into a new post?
I've tried creating brand new posts and they publish without any problems.
Thanks
Hi Matt,
Yes, you can copy the whole page content and paste it into a new post.
Here's a tutorial video from Leo:

Hope this is helpful :)
