Changing post status

Question

Refering to Post status because it's not allowed to do a question on a answer ?!
Original post is from Bubka Gob and the answer came from Chris O .

I have add their code to functions.php:

add_action('post_submitbox_misc_actions', 'send_for_correction_button');
function send_for_correction_button()
{
    //global $post;
    echo '
    
        ';
}
add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data' , 'my_filter_handler' , '99', 2 );
function my_filter_handler( $data , $postarr )
{
    if ($postarr['save'] == 'Send for correction')
        $data['post_status'] = 'on-correction';

    return $data;
}

Because I have following plugin installed: CMS Tree page View I can see the page which is "marked" as on-correction. But as soon this plugin is deactivate the page isn't showing up anymore when I click All Pages.(In back-end/Admin)

Does anyone have a clue/hint or solution? Thanks in advance for time and effort.

(looking forward to a responce because we would love to use this nice solution for the reason that we also have multiple authors.), Sorry if I am wrong and duplicate now because lack of knowledge for the how to respond on excisting answers on stackexchange.com.

Answer 1

That code is part of something bigger, as there are many places where the custom post_status needs to be inserted.

There are two interesting discussions here at WPSE and both point to the use of this plugin: Edit Flow.

• Is it possible to have more "levels" of draft/published statuses?
• Add a new post status in the post progression

Leave a comment in the question you're referring and ask Bubka if he can publish his full code, otherwise... Edit Flow...
