WP Unpublish - simple & useful post status for your workflow
WP Unpublish adds a post status "Unpublished" to your WordPress Posts.
Consider the 8 default post statuses that WordPress uses by default:
- Publish: Viewable by everyone. (publish)
- Future: Scheduled to be published in a future date. (future)
- Draft: Incomplete post viewable by anyone with proper user role. (draft)
- Pending: Awaiting a user with the publish_posts capability (typically a user assigned the Editor role) to publish. (pending)
- Private: Viewable only to WordPress users at Administrator level. (private)
- Trash: Posts in the Trash are assigned the trash status. (trash)
- Auto-Draft: Revisions that WordPress saves automatically while you are editing. (auto-draft)
- Inherit - Used with a child post (such as Attachments and Revisions) to determine the actual status from the parent post. (inherit)
A typical publishing workflow would be:
Auto-Draft > Draft > Pending > Future > Publish
But what then? Trash? Private? These seem inadapted.
This is where the Unpublished (unpublish) post status provided by this plugin comes into play.
It allows content publishers to assign a dedicated status to content they desire not to be published, and avoid assigning a semantically inaccurate status.
