wordpress 3.0.1 can't publish my article

Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can sometimes interfere with the admin panel).

Thank you James for your help; still i can’t publish the article! i deactivated all plugins it didn’t work, i also changed the theme to Twenty Ten theme and still i can’t see publish anywhere!
is there a way where i can go back to wp 2.9 ?
thank you

If you have a backup of 2.9, you can restore from that. There are a few more things to try first.

You may need to repair the database. Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), check all of the tables, and choose “Repair tables” from the pull-down menu.

If that doesn’t work, try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of the /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/ directories with fresh copies from the download.

Thanks again for your fast reply James! I did repair the tables; the only way i can publish is by going to quick edit and change the status of the article to publish this will publish my post! Tomorrow i have to download WP again like you mentioned but i am not sure if i can do it on my own! When i changed the theme to Twenty Ten theme as you mentioned above but i returned to Magazine Basic when it didn’t work “my whole blog changed and lost the setup of pages and posts with the translation flags!!!!!
I will continue tomorrow and let you know.

thank you
