Publicly locked posts or pages functions exactly the same as published. EXCEPT only user with manage_options capability (usually only admin users) can edit the post or page.
Privately locked posts or pages functions exactly the same as private. EXCEPT only user with manage_options capability (usually only admin users) can edit the post or page.
In both cases only users with manage_options can assign a post or page to the above statuses. As a webmaster this functionality may be useful if there are posts or pages you do not want editors or similar roles amending.

Archive Content with Archived Post Status

Thanks!


This is a well maintained, perfectly working, nicely extendable and configurable plugin that does exactly what it says, no nagging about "Upgrade to Pro". It works with WordPress to add a new possibility within the established status concept, not outside of it, hence very little extra added complexity.



I have installed, and been using, this plugin on all sites I manage for about ten years. I train my clients and content authors to archive, not trash, content that should no longer be published, for any reason and only trash test, erronous or vastly incomplete content. There ar plenty space ikn tghe database to store the history of your site content, so why irreversibly delete it?



Wholeheartedly recommended for almost any WordPress site. Could have been part of WP core.


Excellent plugin - very useful

Use an "Archived" status to unpublish content without having to trash it.
