Is there a way I can call a link so when clicked it publishes the post via the ID I provide? I have get_delete_post_link( $postID ) set fine, and would like to do the same to make a draft go to published, or if you can't publish post, make it pending. I also have this code running in my functions.php file so may be also a way to call this if a link is clicked.

I used URL parameters and created a specific function called at init:
add_action( 'init', 'publish_post_status' );
function publish_post_status($post_id){
if (isset($_GET['publish']) && current_user_can('publish_posts')) {
if ($_GET['publish'] == "true") {
$current_post = get_post( $_GET['post_id'], 'ARRAY_A' );
$current_post['post_status'] = 'publish';
wp_update_post($current_post);
}
}
if (isset($_GET['queue'])) {
if ($_GET['queue'] == "true") {
$current_post = get_post( $_GET['post_id'], 'ARRAY_A' );
$current_post['post_status'] = 'pending';
wp_update_post($current_post);
}
}
}
