post-status

See this Codex page. In general the hook is {old_status}_to_{new_status}. (Untested) but in your case, the hook would be pending_to_draft: add_action(‘pending_to_draft’,’wpse45803_pending_to_draft’); function wpse45803_pending_to_draft($post){ //Do something } You might want to look up the wp_transition_post_status function. You could also use the hook: transition_post_status add_action(‘transition_post_status’,’wpse45803_transition_post_status’,10,3); function wpse45803_transition_post_status($new_status,$old_status,$post){ //Do something }

You can create your custom button in a function and hook it into post_submitbox_misc_actions and this will add it right above the publish button. To change the status use wp_update_post in an Ajax function. Give it a try and post back with your code if you run into any problems.

This solves my problem: register_post_status(‘my_custom_post_status’, array( ‘label’ => __(‘The Label’, ‘domain’), ‘public’ => !is_admin(), ‘exclude_from_search’ => true, ‘show_in_admin_all_list’ => false, ‘label_count’ => //blablabla )); !is_admin() makes the status only public on the frontpage. If you find a better solution please post it here!
