I also don’t see a way to edit that form in that location, though there is a hook called post_submitbox_misc_actions near the bottom. I strongly suggest that use that post_submitbox_misc_actions hook or add your own brand new meta_box to the page. There are potentially severe consequences to altering the default meta_boxes, especially that one. However… … Read more
Use Sticky Posts. In the Post editor find the “Publish” section. Next to “Visibility” click on edit and then check the “Stick this post to the front page” option there. Click save and you’re done. In the loop, you can check if a post is_sticky(). To loop them, you can use the post__in or post_not__in … Read more
You should set the public argument to true. This way the post with ‘inpacking’ or ‘sent’ post_status will also show in total. So your code should be like this: register_post_status( ‘inpacking’, array( ‘label’ => _x( ‘In Packing’, ‘Order packing’ ), ‘public’ => true, ‘exclude_from_search’ => false, ‘show_in_admin_all_list’ => true, ‘show_in_admin_status_list’ => true, ‘label_count’ => _n_noop( … Read more
You get the full post object as a second parameter on save_post. Use it to change the status just like the following code. add_action( ‘save_post’, ‘wpse_78351_status’, 10, 2 ); function wpse_78351_status( $post_ID, $post ) { remove_filter( current_filter(), __FUNCTION__ ); if ( ‘trash’ !== $post->post_status ) //adjust the condition { $post->post_status=”draft”; // use any post status … Read more
This largely depends on where within the boot/request sequence you decide to make an attempt at retrieving statuses and it also depends on whether someone, thing, plugin or theme is doing something, funky, or not but the latter is less likely the case. Useful API functions: get_post_statuses docs | source Retrieves statuses for the built … Read more
We had the same issue in one of our projects and we find the solution here This other doesn’t work in our case, but maybe is a second option for you.
I’m pretty sure only attachments have post status “enforcement” (“inherit” or “private”), and that’s only inside wp_insert_attachment(). Otherwise there’s no cron action or routine I’m aware of that’ll change stati. I still think you should opt for registering it though. Without any arguments, everything will still behave the way it does currently; they won’t appear … Read more
_post_states( WP_Post $post ) Parameters #Parameters $post (WP_Post) (Required) Code Reference from wordpress.org (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/_post_states/) function _post_states($post) { $post_states = array(); if ( isset( $_REQUEST[‘post_status’] ) ) $post_status = $_REQUEST[‘post_status’]; else $post_status=””; if ( !empty($post->post_password) ) $post_states[‘protected’] = __(‘Password protected’); if ( ‘private’ == $post->post_status && ‘private’ != $post_status ) $post_states[‘private’] = __(‘Private’); if ( ‘draft’ … Read more
So actually everything were more simpler, as long as someone (namely me) would have looked how “draft” post status works. Apparently there are a lot of variables that wordpress codex does not reveal / has documented, such as the following: register_post_status(‘purchased’, array( /* ‘label’ => _x( ‘Purchased’, ‘post’ ), ‘public’ => false, ‘exclude_from_search’ => true, … Read more
I wonder if you could use something as simple as this: (similar to the suggestion of @ialocin) /** * Use the “Force” on the post status 😉 */ add_action( ‘wp_insert_post_data’, function( $data, $postarr ){ $change_post_status = array( ‘draft’, ‘private’ ); // Edit to your needs if( ‘cpt’ === $data[‘post_type’] && in_array( $data[‘post_status’], $change_post_status, TRUE ) … Read more
