I've been trying to find the solution for this for a while but I can't seem to find anyone with the same issues.
I have a local server running Ubuntu 16.04 with LAMP stack. Wordpress installed on 2 different "domains". One works, the other doesn't.
The problem:
I make a post or a page and then "publish" but it stays as draft. Now, there is NO option in the dropdown for the status for "publish". The only options available are "draft" and "pending review".
I thought I was pretty familiar with Wordpress but this one is stumping me. Any ideas? Should I re-install (I hope not)?

Issues with the publish button normally occur when there is an issue with a plugin or theme you are using.
You will need to:
Disable all plugins and see if the publish button appears. If so, reactive one by one until you have found the one causing the issue.
Disable any custom theme and choose one that comes with WordPress. If so, you need to find out why the theme is causing you headaches.
More possible solutions:
Add a new administrator and login to that account then change ownership of the article and see if the publish button appears. If so then there is a problem with the user profile being damaged within the SQL.
Try a different browser and clear the session and cookies.
WordPress Stack:
If the problem is related to theme development, plugin development or anything else to do with WP programming codex then you will need to use the WordPress stack as programming is considered off-topic on Pro Webmasters. For example: Posts stuck as Drafts.
