Removing "Post Unpublished by Author" Post

Help
1

I realize this is going to seem fishy but I promise it’s actually just extremely idiotic of me…

So I received a pretty standard phishing/spam/threatening email and I thought it would be interesting to see what happened if I forwarded it to my blog’s publish-by-email address… Somehow, I ended up pinning it to my menu.

But when I try to actually navigate tothat hyperlink to unpin/delete it, I receive the standard “post unpublished by author” prompt.

If there’s any way to delete this image, I promise I will never fool around again for the rest of my life…

Thank you.

Heh, no problem @DavidBlue – experimentation is good! This is mostly our fault that it didn’t work; there’s a bug where if a post has no body, even if it has a title, this page will show. We’ll fix this soon!

In the meantime, I’ve unpinned the post for you, so you should be able to delete it now.
