Custom Post Status

Hey there,

thought I'll give it a 5 as it works as it should. Though I would really love to see some more functions especially in terms of public/private state and probably some implementation of role rights.

It's a shame that this topic is so behind in wordpress. Especially when dealing with user submitted content, different post status are important.

Thanks for your work!

Works great but very limited

Alexandre Froger

Consider the 8 default post statuses that WordPress uses by default: 
* Publish: Viewable by everyone. (publish) 
* Future: Scheduled to be published in a future date. (future) 
* Draft: Incomplete post viewable by anyone with proper user role. (draft) 
* Pending: Awaiting a user with the publish_posts capability (typically a user assigned the Editor role) to publish. (pending) 
* Private: Viewable only to WordPress users at Administrator level. (private) 
* Trash: Posts in the Trash are assigned the trash status. (trash) 
* Auto-Draft: Revisions that WordPress saves automatically while you are editing. (auto-draft) 
* Inherit – Used with a child post (such as Attachments and Revisions) to determine the actual status from the parent post. (inherit)
A typical publishing workflow would be: 
 Auto-Draft > <code>Draft</code> > <code>Pending</code> > <code>Future</code> > <code>Publish</code> 
But what then? <code>Trash</code>? <code>Private</code>? These seem inadapted.
This is where the Unpublished (unpublish) post status provided by this plugin comes into play. 
It allows content publishers to assign a dedicated status to content they desire not to be published, and avoid assigning a semantically inaccurate status.

WP Unpublish

WP Unpublish adds a post status "Unpublished" to your WordPress Posts (Classic Editor).
