This topic: [Get data from excel or Excel Vlookup and Hlookup](https://meta.discourse.org/t/get-data-from-excel-or-excel-vlookup-and-hlookup/353568) is in a category that has first-post-only ActivityPub publication. However, in the admin modal, I see a “Publish All Posts” button. When I press it, I get an error.

 ![CleanShot 2025-02-24 at 13.51.32@2x](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/a/5/ba5e9d1b6fdadfb1db7b186c8f6198ab95a28ebb.png)

We should likely not show this button at all if the topic doesn’t have full topic publication type, right @angus?
