Work on a Post Before Publishing

    I was wondering whether the following is possible?

    I have an ‘About’ post that has been previously published, and I now want to edit that post, and save it as a draft for proofreading at a later date, before finally publishing it and overwriting the published version of the ‘About’ page.

    I haven’t found a way to do it under the current version of WordPress. Is it even possible?

  • There is a gray “Save Draft” button in the Publish box. If I’m understanding you, that is what you are looking for.

    1) copy and paste the current “about” text into a new page, edit it and don’t publish it until you’re happy with it.
    2) when you’re happy with your new about page text in your new page, publish it.
    3) in your dashboard, go to Pages and find the old “about” page, click quick edit and change it’s status to draft and click update.
    4) go to appearance -> menus and find the old “about” page in the menu and remove it. then add in the new one and save your menu.

    hope that helps…

    @jtleathers: This is for a page that has already been published & I want to make changes to it, save it for reviewing later, before publishing it over the top of the previously published page.

    @theotherlebowski: I could easily do that, but I was wondering if there was a more streamlined method. I thought about using a Copy Post plugin, until I found a plugin that did exactly what I wanted to do for me.
