    What is a difference between a post being published and a post being set as a draft? I mean in a sense of a php process and a call to database?

    During a day I have trouble publishing (In the evening it is fine), and my host tells me that I am restricted to 25 php process at a time. But I can perfectly save a draft! So I am curious. I have some plugins but the usual stuff that most websites have

  • In your MySQL database, look at the wp_posts table. The post_status field will say ‘draft’. For published, the post_status field will say “publish”.

    That’s it nothing to it. A “post” is a post which has been saved or published. A “draft” is a post which hasn’t been finished, saved, or published yet.

    If you see a post indicating “draft,” it probably means that you left the post without saving or publishing it. Your work is still there, just not published online or saved. The plugin automatically saves imcomplete posts as a “draft” if you leave the page without saving it.
