Here is one idea: You could try to use the future_to_publish action to change the post status: add_action(‘future_to_publish’, ‘set_status_online_wpse_95701’); function set_status_online_wpse_95701( $post ) { if ( $post && $post->post_type===”stream”){ $post->post_status=”online”; // change the post_status wp_update_post( $post ); } }
You are essentially trying to create a “fake” page without having to create a physical page in the WordPress database and for that, you will need custom re-write rules. For more details see my answer here: Setting a custom sub-path for blog without using pages? Quick overview: step 1: setup your custom rewrite rules add_action(‘init’, … Read more
I think the best solution, as discussed in chat, is point 3, programmatically adding a draft (or custom post status) via the use of wp_insert_post where amongst other parameters you can set the likes of; ‘post_date’ => [ Y-m-d H:i:s ] //The time post was made. ‘post_date_gmt’ => [ Y-m-d H:i:s ] //The time post … Read more
I’m then trying to figure out how to change the post status once their subscription is up function downgrade_user_role( $entry, $subscription_id, $transaction_id, $new_payment_amount ) { $user = GFUserData::get_user_by_entry_id( $entry[‘id’] ); $user->set_role( ‘subscriber’ ); global $wpdb; $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare( “UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET post_status=”draft” WHERE post_author = %d AND post_status IN (‘publish’, ‘future’)”, $user->ID ) ); } add_action( … Read more
A number of admin interfaces are hardcoded to return the default statuses regardless of what you do. The post status system in WordPress is not exactly fully formed and you’ll no doubt encounter bugs. Refer to the edit flow plugin for examples of working around this
I was unable to find any action called wp_update_post. Are you sure it’s a valid one? Lets try the hook publish_post. add_action(‘publish_post’, ‘check_user_publish’, 10, 2); function check_user_publish ($post_id, $post) { $user_id = get_current_user_id(); if ($user_id != $post->post_author) return; $query = array( ‘ID’ => $post_id, ‘post_status’ => ‘draft’, ); wp_update_post( $query, true ); }} code not … Read more
Your setup isn’t supported by WP_Query. One approach is to use the posts_where filter of WP_Query (there are other ways possible, like collecting post ID’s instead from different queries.) to adjust the SQL query. To avoid string replaces we could use for example: $custom_query_args = [ ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ]; // Add … Read more
Try the following: add_filter(‘display_post_states’, ‘__return_false’); The function responsible for printing the post state on the post list table is: _post_states() Located in wp-admin/includes/template.php. The following logic determines whether the state will be printed: /** * Filter the default post display states used in the posts list table. * * @since 2.8.0 * * @param array … Read more

Step 1 – Register a Custom Query Var By adding a custom query var, you make WP aware of it so it can be used in requests. function wpse_add_query_vars( $vars ) { $vars[] = ‘wpse_set_to_publish’; return $vars; } add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘wpse_add_query_vars’ ); Step 2 – Sniff The Request Now we hook into parse_request to look … Read more
