Not saving as draft
-
We have multiple people submitting articles in our department. After the author is complete, they are to set their posts as “Review” status so that a team can review the post. When they create a new article and select a custom status of “Review” and then press Save Draft button, the article is published anyways. The visibility status is set to Public, though the custom status was not configured to display as Public. These articles are not ready for public viewing and we thought by setting them as this new custom status, they’d would not actually be published.
Also – we created another status (“Formatted”) last week to flag articles that were ready for final approval, applied this status to one post, then decided that we’d go with another route for approving articles. We deleted the custom status of “Formatted” and found out that the article with that custom status applied was deleted from wordpress. Luckily we had the contents of the article saved and we could recreate it, however, this would have really sucked to have tagged a ton of articles with a custom status and have them be deleted when the custom status is deleted.
TLDR: Deleting a custom status will also delete any articles with that custom status.
