posts with status other than 'published' not showing in backend

Hi,

Can you share your form code, also share code which are showing custom
posts in backend.

This is my page template code which contains the form and the function behind it:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Submit Business Listing
*/
?>
<?php
    global $cfs;
    // check if form was successfully submitted
         if( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] && !empty( $_POST['action'] )) {
            if (isset ($_POST['title']) ) {
                $title =  $_POST['title'];
            } else {
                echo 'Message text...';
                $hasError = true;
            }
            if  (isset ($_POST['address']) && isset ($_POST['zipcode']) && isset($_POST['cities']) ) {
                $address =  $_POST['address'];
                $zip = $_POST['zipcode'];
                $city = trim($_POST['cities']);
            } else {
                echo 'Message text...';
                $hasError = true;
            }
            if (isset ($_POST['sendername']) && isset ($_POST['sendermail']) ) {
                $sendername = $_POST['sendername'];
                $sendermail = $_POST['sendermail'];
            } else {
                echo 'Message text...';
                $hasError = true;
            }
            if (isset ($_POST['cat']) ) {
                $branch = $_POST['cat'];
            } else {
                echo 'Message text...';
                $hasError = true;

            );
            $new_post_id = wp_insert_post($post);
             // if no error, send email
                if(!isset($hasError)) {

I dont’ quite understand what you mean by code that shows custom posts in backend. What I meant is when you click e.g. “Posts” in the admin panel, you see a list of your posts and you can choose if you want to see all of them or only the published ones, the drafts, the ones in the trash etc. That’s the point: it says “Drafts (12)” but with that option chosen, instead of displaying my drafts it says “no posts found”.

As given ‘my-custom-post-type’ in the given code is the custom post type which you will need to pass as post_type, this post type will shows in backend for that you must create custom post type for the backend please review this link (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/register_post_type)

$post = array(
‘post_title’ => $title,
‘post_content’ => ‘ ‘,
‘post_status’ => ‘Draft’,
‘post_type’ => ‘my-custom-post-type’,
‘tax_input’ => array($branch, $ort)
);
There are some plugins are available for creating custom post type : (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/)

The given code is fine and you just need to create custom post type in backend these posts will automatically in shows after that.

Sushil,

I have already registered that custom post type along with custom taxonomies and it works fine – I can publish posts from the backend and all but, though, those posts submitted by the above form won’t display as drafts properly whereas those posts I submit via form are not being shown as drafts in the backend.

Same issue when directly moving those post drafts to the trash. It says “Trash (1)” and if you choose that option it says “no post found” again.

Please confirm that ‘post_type’ => ‘my-custom-post-type’ given in the code(‘my-custom-post-type’) is same as when you see all custom posts in backend please check post_type in URL (/edit.php?post_type=my-custom-post-type) both must be same.

I need to review your backend or files to resolve this issue.

Do you have staging server where i can review this??
