Hi im getting this error on my discovery error log: > Course run [course-v1:CBV+001+001] is not publishable What can be the reasons not to be publishable? Thanks in advance 🙂 ---

Hi @Xperez, If you want programs running on your instance then you have to create your own marketing site ([reference](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/programs-in-open-edx/353)). And your course is not publishable because of this [LOC](https://github.com/edx/course-discovery/blob/open-release/ironwood.master/course_discovery/apps/course_metadata/models.py#L867#L872). ---

@jramnai thanks for your answer 🙂 I`ve been searching these days about the best way to build a marketing site and found 2 options: - [Open Fun´s Richie CMS](https://github.com/openfun/richie) - [EduNext´s wordpress plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/edunext-openedx-integrator/) I still have a doubt: Why is it that in a Devstack installation, without having a marketing site configured by default, i am able to create, publish and see my programs? Thanks a lot for your guidance 🙂 ---
