@Anportia Hey! First of all, I’m really sorry for your loss. ❤️ And welcome back to writing again.
Wattpad’s been glitchy after the update. Try updating the app, logging out and back in, or publishing from Chrome/web instead of the mobile app. Sometimes chapters get stuck in drafts because of the app bug.
If it still doesn’t resolve, you may need to contact Wattpad Support
and submit a ticket.
