Approval Workflow plugin is NOT working? [closed]

Question

I have installed Approval Workflow plugin but it is like, not working for me. Nothing is happening after the users post new items (pages/posts). Not listing the Approval Workflow table list.

And another thing i'm feeling weird is, the logic it is saying on their plugin page, like:

You must ensure the users you want to approve are in a role that does not have publish_page (or any publish permissions for other post types) permissions.

As we know, when i .. remove the public_page capability in that user's role (for e.g: Author) .., Wordpress doesn't even allow this user to access the Add New Page menu anymore.

Then when i enabled that permission in role again, it is again showing just the default Submit for Review button. Not with the Workflow option of Submit to Workflow.

It mean the states are not falling into Workflow.
So what is that plugin is meaning?
Or what did i do wrong?

Answer 1

This is probably expected behaviour as most approval workflow plugins focus on POSTS and not PAGES - you can have an Author who can create a post and submit a post but not publish a post and your EDITOR is the only role who can probably create pages.

You probably need to install User Role Editor to get a better understanding of the process.

So long as your Authors don't have PUBLISH PAGES or PUBLISH POSTS you should be fine.

Have a look at EDIT FLOW as an alternative to the plugin you are using

Your question is really too localized for WPSE. The plugin author supports the plugin in the wordpress.org forums here: http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/approval-workflow

And the plugin page at WordPress http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/approval-workflow/ advises the use of the members plugin for roles and permissions: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/
