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( $post ); } }
I was unable to find any action called wp_update_post. Are you sure it’s a valid one? Lets try the hook publish_post. add_action(‘publish_post’, ‘check_user_publish’, 10, 2); function check_user_publish ($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
Note that when post is update WordPress redirect you from /wp-admin/post.php to /wp-admin/post.php?post=41&action=edit which mean it loads twice.

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
None of them. A, C and D all indicate that you’re inside a loop, and want the status for the current post. But if that’s the case then the first line on all of them is redundant. This is all you’d need if you want the status of the ‘current post’: $current_post_status = get_post_status(); get_post_status() … Read more

Remove ‘private’ and ‘pending review’ options from post status dropdown
This will do what you want: $args = array( ‘author’ => $curauth->ID, ‘post_status’ => array( ‘publish’, ‘pending’, ‘draft’, ‘future’ ) ); $posts = new WP_Query(); $post_count = $posts->found_posts; It will include drafts, pending posts, published posts, and future posts.
