| Feb 24, 2016 at 16:49 | comment | added | Sebastian | Yes, even when a post is published and then afterwards set to "pending" or "draft", my WP 4.2 removes the "post_name" value (slug) from the database for that post. So I am just setting this value via the direct database call (UPDATE wp_wms_posts SET ...) ;-) Thank you very much for your help - much appreciated!! | |

Is that once you have already saved it to published at least once? I imagine there would be several scenarions that we would need to cater for. You can probably hook into change_post_status instead of using a wpdb call directly. Interesting find though!

I found another problem: when setting posts to status "pending" or "draft" using the WordPress function 'change_post_status' - it removes the "post_name" value from the database. Thus, there is no slug anymore... I solved the problem by setting the post_status manually with a db-script: $wpdb->query("UPDATE wp_wms_posts SET post_status = 'pending' WHERE ID = $post->ID;");

| Feb 22, 2016 at 9:19 | comment | added | Sebastian | I think I found a solution to the problem of private posts being unaccessible to admins / logged in users. See my update above. | |
| Feb 21, 2016 at 4:22 | comment | added | Adam | Glad it works, to some degree. My example above is not without its caveats, one of which you probably found concerning private posts. It is however a means to get you started in the right direction. Likely we need some further logic to maintain private post functionality. If I get some time today I'll play around with it and try and reproduce the bug and work out a fix. | |

Update: I just noticed a problem when viewing posts in status private. They should of course not be visible to non logged in users (that part works) - however, they are not visible anymore to logged in users!

| Feb 20, 2016 at 17:47 | comment | added | Sebastian | Thank you soooo much! This worked perfectly!! Which, in a way, I find strange - since I feel I was already there with a very similar approach (which I found at the source / link above). I've updated my post with the code I was using before, which did not work (gave me a 404 when I viewed a page as a non logged in user). T H A N K S again!! | |
