Default published status or bulk edit status?

Hey,

Bulk editing statuses can be done with Pro: https://docs.simplefeaturerequests.com/pro-features/bulk-edit-statuses

but you could also set the default status using a code snippet on the jck_sfr_get_default_post_status filter. it should just return a string with the status (i.e. publish)

Thank you for the super quick and helpful reply!

No problem – appreciate a review when you’ve got things set up!

Hi James, I tried the code below but it does not work. Am I doing something wrong?

add_action( 'jck_sfr_get_default_post_status', 'jck_sfr_set_default_status' );
/**
 * Set the default status for feature requests
 */
function jck_sfr_set_default_status() {
	$status = "publish";
    return status;
}

Ah I had a typo – sorry. I was missing the $ on the return variable. Now it’s working fine! ??

Here’s the working code:

add_action( 'jck_sfr_get_default_post_status', 'jck_sfr_set_default_status' );
/**
 * Set the default status for feature requests
 */
function jck_sfr_set_default_status() {
	$status = "publish";
    return $status;
}

Yep, good catch! You can also just do this:

add_action( 'jck_sfr_get_default_post_status', 'jck_sfr_set_default_status' );

/**
 * Set the default status for feature requests
 */
function jck_sfr_set_default_status() {
    return "publish";
}
