if a post is deleted on Medium side, there is not a simple way to cross post the Medium story again

[huckphin]

If a WordPress post is cross-posted to Medium, the record of it completing is saved in the postmeta WordPress table. If a migration needs to be completely reset, the only option right now is to delete the postmeta records manually from the database, matching those with a meta_key = "medium_post".

Manually editing database records is prone to errors and dangerous. It is not recommended, and should not be the way to reset the system. Having a way for users (read: not system administrators) to remove the postmeta records safely would be ideal.

I am also facing this issue. There has to be an option to refresh publication status. I wanted to re-crosspost my article from WP to medium as it was god deleted accidently

Bump, i would love to see this feature. This happened to me after five minutes into testing the plugin.

Same as @tizzle

Found a hack, thinking most people who get here are developers...

1. Get the post's ID by editing it in WordPress (/wp-admin/post.php?post=11&action=edit => 11).
2. Login to your MySQL server (you can find the server information in wp-config.php).
3. Run this SQL snippet.

# Verify you get a row back.
SELECT * FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id = <POST ID> AND meta_key = 'medium_post';
# If it looks like you found the right row, delete it.
DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id = <POST ID> AND meta_key = 'medium_post';

Voilà!

Just encountered this issue. Also Medium isn't showing up in gutenberg anymore. this thing needs better support.

Okay so I tried the sql snippet and it seemed to work. And I got Medium extension to appear again within the Gutenberg editor. BUT I can't seem to do the cross post again. it doesn't give me the option, even though I ran the SQL snippet. I'll keep testing.

I just manually deleted the row found with the sql snippet and it's all good now. Thanks guys!
