Not working as expected

Hi @martinsauter

I’ve just checked the behaviour of the public checkbox and it seems to work fine in my example setup: https://streamable.com/070jx9

Is this what you try to do (as seen in my video)?

Could you deactivate all other plugins you use and switch to a default WP theme, just to check if anything disrupts the plugin?

Hi Felix

Thank you for your reply. What you demonstrate in your video is exactly what I tried to do. And after some tests I have to admit that it was not the fault of your plug-in, but a caching issue.

What still does not work as expected is that when I create a new post, no status is assigned by default. So when you forget to set the status manually, the post is no longer accessible in the posts list.

Hi @welly2103

Can you confirm that your plugin does not set the ?draft? status by default when a user creates a new post?

This is really an issue for our authors.

Kind regards,
Martin

Hi @martinsauter

sorry for the late answer. That is actually right, I’ll have a deeper look into this issue and will come back to this thread whenever there is an update.

Hi @martinsauter

I just release version 1.0.15 and hope this version will fix this issue. Please come back to this thread if you are still experiencing this error!

Hi @welly2103

The new release fixes the bug that new posts kind of disappear if you forget to set a status.

However, there are still some details:

When you create a new post, the status field says ?Select status? instead of ?Draft? (which is the standard behaviour of WordPress).
When you create a new post and publish it directly, the status remains ?Draft? instead of ?Published? (which again is the standard behaviour of WordPress).
