We looked into the issue with the Japanese version of the "Evoto All Categories" template. It turned out the post was saved with a status of draft, which is why it wasn’t showing on the front end.

We’ve fixed it by updating the post_status to publish directly in the database (wp_posts table, post ID = 14044).

You should be able to retranslate the template via the UI if needed, and it should work as expected. As a note, it's possible that if a translation isn’t marked as 100% complete in CTE, it gets saved as a draft — that might be what caused this.

But we didn't have a post ID 14044.
And where can I check the post_status in the database? Can you give me a path

And the translation still not work for now.
I can't see the "all categories" template shown in my Japanese theme editor

To check the `post_status` of any post directly in the database, you’ll need access to your WordPress database (typically via phpMyAdmin or another database tool). Here’s how to do it:

1. Open your database and look for the `wp_posts` table. (Note: the table prefix might be different if your site is using a custom one — e.g., it could be `abc_posts` instead of `wp_posts`.)

2. Once you’ve opened the table, you can search for the post either by its ID or by a keyword in the title.

For example, to find the post by ID:

  SELECT ID, post_title, post_status FROM wp_posts WHERE ID = 14044;

3. The `post_status` field will tell you whether the post is published or not. If it says `draft`, it means it won’t appear on the front end until it’s updated to `publish`.

Does this help?
