<p>Problem<br />
In WordPress it is not possible to edit a published post and save it as new draft or pending review without removing the post from the frontend.<br />
In the moment, if the post status is set to something else as published, it is removed. This makes it impossible to create a private draft or set an edited post to pending review without creating a 404.<br />
For the BuddyForms front-end editing we want to have the feature to save a private draft or set the edit post to pending review without creating a 404.</p>
<p>With the BuddyForms Moderation Extension you can solve exactly this problem.</p>
<p>The extension creates a new Form Builder MetaBox “Moderation”</p>
<p>With 3 new Post Status</p>
<ul>
<li>Edit draft      –> Is a new created post or a new edit draft of an existing post and only available for your editing.</li>
<li>Awaiting Review –> You have finished editing and want your post to be moderationed and published.</li>
<li>Approved        –> Your post has been approved and is merged back to the live version.</li>
</ul>
<p>How it works:<br />
If you create a new edit draft, a new child post of your live post will be created as a duplicate of your live post.<br />
During the editing process you will edit the child post and your live version is untouched and available to the public.<br />
If you set the post to “awaiting review” and a moderationer (admin) approves your post, the post will be merged back to the live version and set to approved.</p>
<p>This will work for all the content, custom fields and taxonomies.</p>

<p>Mail Notification<br />
With the BuddyForms in build Notification System you can create mail trigger notification for the different post status to let your users and Moderators know, when a new post is ready for moderation or gets approved.</p>
<p>BuddyForms Moderation is the perfect plugin for you if you are in need of a solid frontend post editing moderation management.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you let your users create products or Kitten Story’s. It just work fine with any custom post type related plugin.</p>
<p>The BuddyForms Moderation extension gives you full control of the user submissions without affecting the live version or even giving them the rights to edit a published post.</p>
