1. Go to a blog post (only some do this and I think it's random what's shown in the "also on" section so keep trying)
2. Look at the "ALSO ON BEEMINDER BLOG" section

Is it possible that every post that started its life as a DRAFT is permanently shown that way?

Interesting. Not yet sure exactly what's going on here. I feel like we had a bug like this in the past. These related posts are displayed by Disqus. I think. So I guess there's a possibility that we had this bug in the past, fixed it, but whatever data Disqus had already ingested has persisted. I'm not immediately certain how to test that, nor how to fix it if that is the case. It might be worth checking your Disqus dashboard to see what settings or management tools they expose. 🤔

This is the file where we load in the Disqus comments:

And this indicates that we disable Disqus on draft pages (uncertain if that's relevant or not):
