<p>This plugin is useful for people who regularly use all or most of the post statuses with Posts, Pages, or Custom Post Types. Post Status Menu Items does the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Show each post status and number of posts with that status (e.g. “Drafts (7)”) in each post type’s admin menu.</li>
<li>Show the number of Posts with each post status in the “Right Now” / “At a Glance” admin Dashboard Widget.</li>
<li>Show post status icons with each status at the top of admin post list pages.</li>
</ol>
<p>Options give control over which post statuses are displayed and in which menus those statuses are displayed. Post statuses in the “Right Now” / “At a Glance” admin Dashboard widget can also be turned off.</p>
