custom post type single post preview for pending status

Question

I have created custom post type and created the post in a front custom form using logged in user and set status 'pending'. Now I want to show my created post preview like the published post.

I have hit URL like admin http://localhost/project/?post_type=deals&p=3305

but it is working for admin, not for author user.

In Another way, we can say that how to show pending custom post for the author only for preview.

my code--->>

'public' => true,'publicly_queryable' => true,'show_ui' => true, 

Please help

Answer 1

If you do get_permalink($post_id), you should get the preview link. I did the same for my site. The author should be able to see this unless some specific filters are in place which prevent this.

On the post itself, I use this to show it's pending.

if ( get_post_status( $post_id ) == 'pending' ) {
    echo '<div class="site__notice uppercase">This is a preview. This profile has not been approved yet.</div>';
}

Can you share some code or provide some more info ?

It Works after below code added in functions.php

function preview_draft_posts($query) {

  if ( is_admin() || get_query_var('suppress_filters') )
    return $query;


  $query->set('post_status', array('publish', 'pending', 'draft'));


  return $query;

}

if(isset($_GET['p']) && isset($_GET['post_type']) && ($_GET['post_type'] == 'deals' || $_GET['post_type'] == 'events')&& get_current_user_id() > 0){
    global $wpdb;
    $deal_posts = $wpdb->prefix . 'posts';
    $sql_claim ="SELECT ID FROM $deal_posts WHERE ID='".$_GET['p']."' AND post_author=".get_current_user_id();
    $myrows = $wpdb->get_row( $sql_claim, ARRAY_A );
    if(isset($myrows['ID']) ){

         add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'preview_draft_posts');
    }

}
