You were pretty close. You just want to hook in at the right time when the comment is being saved. This is untested but should work. add_action( ‘comment_post’, ‘wpse_make_private_after_3_comments’, 10, 2 ); function wpse_make_private_after_3_comments( $comment_ID, $comment_approved ) { $comment = get_comment( $comment_ID ); $post_ID = $comment->comment_post_ID; $comments = wp_count_comments( $post_ID ); // You could also … Read more
do the following code in your child theme function.php file as given below. function wc_remove_cancelled_status( $statuses ){ if( isset( $statuses[‘wc-cancelled’] ) ){ unset( $statuses[‘wc-cancelled’] ); } return $statuses; } add_filter( ‘wc_order_statuses’, ‘wc_remove_cancelled_status’ );
You’ll have to use the body_class hook in the functions.php file of your theme in combination with get_post_status() function. Like the following: add_filter( ‘body_class’, ‘custom_class’ ); function custom_class( $classes ) { if ( get_post_status() == ‘rejected’ ) { $classes[] = ‘rejected’; } return $classes; }
You can use one of the status transition filter hooks for this: {$new_status}_{$post_type} transition_post_status In the function assigned to the hook, you change the status to publish the previously featured post ( using e.g. $wpdb ). Both actions are performed after saving the post, so you have to change the status in posts other than … Read more
Found this snippet after more searching: //Force posts of custom type to be private //…but first make sure they are not ‘trash’ otherwise it is impossible to trash a post function force_type_private($post) { if (($post[‘post_type’] == ‘post’) { if ($post[‘post_status’] != ‘trash’) $post[‘post_status’] = ‘private’; } return $post; } add_filter(‘wp_insert_post_data’, ‘force_type_private’); Changed the boolean to: … Read more
take a look at Edit Flow plugin which offers a suite of functionality to redefine your editorial workflow within WordPress. Features include Custom Statuses
You can alter a post status after init by changing the global variable $wp_post_statusses: function alt_post_status() { global $wp_post_statuses; $wp_post_statuses[‘custom_status’]->public = true; } add_action( ‘init’, ‘alt_post_status’ ); register_post_status() (line 922) does the same thing: … global $wp_post_statuses; if (!is_array($wp_post_statuses)) $wp_post_statuses = array(); // Args prefixed with an underscore are reserved for internal use. $defaults = … Read more
Assuming you want to delete by date, here is a basic concept. You’d need to figure out when you want this to run, otherwise, as I commented above, you’ll end up with only 1 post if it runs repeatedly. Edit: Including parameter for a bit of safety <?php function doomsday_device($herd_thinning) { if(empty($herd_thinning)) { return; } … Read more
Few notes We can get the “Publish immediately” notice within the post_submit_meta_box(() when the post_date_gmt is equal to ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’. We can see here within wp_update_post() and here and here within wp_insert_post(), how draft-, pending- or auto-draft posts are not date stamped. It looks like if we had a filter on the post status array … Read more
The sticky posts info is stored in the sticky_posts option in the options table. It’s stored as serialized array e.g. a:2:{i:0;i:1272;i:1;i:1995;} You can modify it via the Options API but there’s a way to bulk edit posts in the backend: 1. Select the Sticky view: 2. Select all sticky posts and apply the bulk Edit … Read more
