Note: It’s better to not edit the web database manually. You should use this option as a last resort.  

If an item is missing that you believe SHOULD have been published, you can “manually” publish it:

  1. Select the Item in the Content Editor in the Master Database.
  2. Right-click the Item and select Copying » Transfer (see below).
    /upload/sdn5/end user/site administration/troubleshooting_53/trouble3.png
  3. Wizard walks through the process of copying the item to the Web database.
    /upload/sdn5/end user/site administration/troubleshooting_53/trouble4.png 
    Screen 1: Review the info and click Next.
    /upload/sdn5/end user/site administration/troubleshooting_53/trouble5.png 
    Screen 2: Select the source item (the one you wish to transfer). The item that has been selected before the transfer command was called is chosen as source by default.

    Screen 3: Select the web database from the list.
    /upload/sdn5/end user/site administration/troubleshooting_53/trouble7.png 
    Screen 4: Select the destination item. The source item will become a child of the destination item.

    Screen 5: Operation summary. Check ‘Include subitems’ if you wish the subitems of the source item to be copied as well. Click Next to transfer an item.
