Viewing Drafts other than your own

  • You cannot view drafts saved by other authors, since it is their “property”. You can edit things published by the other authors, though, since it is essentially the admin’s weblog. It has been that way for long now, and it can be a mild inconvenience as I know from experience. You can change the source code a little to change this behavior, according to your personal needs, though.

    Here’s the query to see only drafts where your level is higher than the post authors:
    SELECT $wpdb->posts.ID, post_title FROM $wpdb->posts INNER JOIN $wpdb->users ON ($wpdb->users.ID = $wpdb->posts.post_author) WHERE post_status = ‘draft’ AND post_author <> $user_ID AND $user_level > $wpdb->users.user_level

    Is there a way of seeing who wrote the drafts? I’ve got a draft from “Other”, and I’d like to know who wrote it. It will let me publish it, so I guess i could find out that way, but then I’d not be able to return it to “draft”.

    I’m using WordPress 2.0.2. by the way.
