Approve Posts

Not that I have ever heard of.

Anyone mind if I resurrect this topic? I’m trying to create a system in which an administrator must approve new posts or edits. Is there any way through plugins to “capture” posts before they’re saved to the DB so that I can save them to a different DB table? I’d like to do this through plugins if possible.

Thanks!

Not that I’m aware of (note please that I do NOT know every plugin available out there!)

If you’ve got the blog set up for moderation before posts go live though, why does it matter what table the posts go to?

Thanks for the response! I found a plugin to require approval for new posts, but here’s the catch; the site owners would like to approve not only new posts but also any subsequent edits.

I may be wrong, but I figure the best way to achieve this is to save each post submission into a clone of the posts table. After that, an administrator can approve the post, in which case it’s copied to the real posts table. So basically, any changes to posts or pages would need to be redirected to this “holding area”.

This could be done by digging in to the code and changing some stuff around, but then I’d lose the ability to upgrade WP (not to mention that such a hack wouldn’t be of much use to anyone but me). I’d like to make it into a plugin, but I’m not sure that abducting post submissions is possible. (Please correct me if I’m wrong!)

Ouch. I absolutely haven’t a clue about the subsequent edits thing. Other than to simply somehow disallow edits…. I know a forum plugin that can handle all of that, but not wp native.

If you think that might help:

Well… I know that when I installed WP on my server, it was set to approve comments by default. Do you have the latest version?
