Hi David, Thanks for the reply. This solves the presenting problem, but when you Edit an article and submit it, it is back to the unapproved state and disappears from the site with this type of solution. But if you block it from replicating the 'life' site will show the last approved article. Another problem is that even your staging site is not showing your new and unapproved article.
