| Nov 5, 2014 at 23:32 | comment | added | amespower | I didn't have a lot of luck with this initially, made all my posts pending and then back again to published. What I ended up doing was echoing out all the unapproved ids based on the meta info and then using wp_update_post on that array to change them to pending. Not the best solution probably but it worked. Final code above in original question. Accepting your answer also as it does in fact work. | |

I would also include echo $the_query->post->ID; in the loop to make sure you're actually getting some matching posts with that query. Just updated my response with both testing methods.

Try echoing wp_user_post to see if it returns a post ID or just 0.
