I flagged a post on behalf of a member in order to temporarily hide it. I don’t know how to unplug it and saw the post. I searched for the topic and found this, but I didn’t find it helpful. ![IMG_3091](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/3/b/33b9cfadb404131958c678f49136a4520149187a.png) ---

Are you referring to unhiding a post? Perhaps this? > [@Delete/remove flags?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/delete-remove-flags/88682/4): > > Click the post admin wrench (in red below) and there should be an unhide option. > > ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/d/ade5f6aaeb3995b5b818f977e63a56e0c6179df3.png) ---

It doesn’t come up as an option at all ---

What is your role on the forum? Are you a moderator or admin? ---

I’m admin. This is what shows up for me ![IMG_3093](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/3/4/634532a9ba0bcf9de1c620876b14c63b7e02562d.jpeg) ---

Then you should see the admin wrench on the post, but you don’t. What is your configuration of the `post menu` site setting? ---

When you look at the post you flagged, can you side-scroll in the post menu? The last visible button is “bookmark,” so “delete” and the admin wrench we are looking for should be to the right of that. You could also try [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) to rule out whether it’s any customization that hides the wrench. ---

You can also try moving “admin” further up in the `post menu` setting. ---

@Isla did you figure this out?
