I found this plugin very useful ajaxed-status It was created for post and page, and I want to apply it on media library. so I commented out the line if (is_admin() /*&& ($pagenow=='edit.php' )*/) and added this:

add_filter ( "manage_upload_columns", array ($this, 'add_new_columns' ) );
add_action ( "manage_media_custom_column", array ($this, 'manage_columns' ), 0, 2 );

Then, I got the status column on Media Library list page, and I can click the status to make it change to new status. But, the change can't be saved. From Firebug, I can see the ajax response is correct. I hope the original author, @Bainternet , or other people, may help figure this out.

update

I tried update_post_meta to save the $status as meta. It works. Just can't save it as post_status by wp_update_post.

    I guess it has to do with the fact that attachments are set post_status inherited.

  • I guess the same. Maybe wp_update_post updates attachments differently. Anything might be bad if I update status in post table directly?

  • @Bainternet , I changed the scripts that created the toggle links, I use $status as an argument of the function and added "inherit" as one of the switch cases.

Reset to default

I think I find the answer-- wp-include/post.php:

if ( ! in_array( $post_status, array( 'inherit', 'private' ) ) )
    $post_status = 'inherit';

So, whatever status will be saved as "inherit".
