How to Get All Posts with any post status?

Question

i am creating a frontend dashboard where i need to show all the post by the current user. So i need to show posts with all post status. Mainly published, trashed and the pending. I am now using simple query post but it is returning only the published posts as expected.

$query = array(
    'post_type' => 'my-post-type',
    'post_author' => $current_user->ID              
    );
    query_posts($query);

Can anyone help what i need do extra?

Answer 1

You can use the post_status parameter:

* 'publish' - a published post or page
* 'pending' - post is pending review
* 'draft' - a post in draft status
* 'auto-draft' - a newly created post, with no content
* 'future' - a post to publish in the future
* 'private' - not visible to users who are not logged in
* 'inherit' - a revision. see get_children.
* 'trash' - post is in trashbin. added with Version 2.9. 

I'm not sure that it accepts 'any' so use and array with all of the types you want:

$query = array(
    'post_type' => 'my-post-type',
    'post_author' => $current_user->ID,
    'post_status' => array('publish', 'pending', 'draft', 'auto-draft', 'future', 'private', 'inherit', 'trash')    
);
query_posts($query);

The WP_Query class method ->query() accepts an any argument for post_status. See wp_get_associated_nav_menu_items() for a proof.

The same goes for get_posts() (which is just a wrapper for above call).

Answer 3

There is simple way, how to get all posts with any status:

$posts = get_posts(
 array(
  'numberposts' => -1,
  'post_status' => 'any',
  'post_type' => get_post_types('', 'names'),
 )
);

Now you can iterate throughout all posts:

foreach ($posts as $post) { 
 echo $post->ID . PHP_EOL; //...
}
