Question: How do I go about deleting a new post?
Answer: When deleting a news post via the ACP, you will need to select the news post you are wanting to delete, and click on the edit button. After the page loads, you can delete the post by clicking the delete button. This is not a bug, the News System is coded like this to prevent anyone from accidentally deleting a new post.
Note: Once a post is deleted, it can not be restored.
