Description
PublishPress Statuses Pro is a WordPress plugin that lets you add custom statuses for your posts beyond Draft and Pending Review. You can build a main workflow for preparing content to go live, plus alternate workflows for content that is not on a direct path to publication. You can also choose which user roles are allowed to move posts into each status.
Key Features
- Alternate Workflows – Create separate statuses for content that is not heading straight to publication, such as Deferred, Needs Work, or Rejected.
- Workflow Branching – Set up parent and child statuses so posts can pass through a branch and then return to the main workflow.
- Roles for Statuses – Decide which user roles may assign posts to each status, from a single status to the whole workflow.
- Visibility Statuses – With the PublishPress Permissions Pro plugin, you can put content in statuses that only specific users or roles can see.
- Revision Statuses – With the PublishPress Revisions Pro plugin, submitted changes can be taken through an approval process.
- Capabilities for Statuses – With the PublishPress Capabilities Pro plugin, you can set detailed permissions for who can set, edit, and delete posts in each status.
- Status Appearance – Give each status its own name, color, and icon, and apply statuses to any post type.
Who Is It For
This plugin is for WordPress site owners, editors, and editorial teams who need more structured content management than the default Draft and Pending Review statuses provide. It suits organizations that want defined publishing workflows and role-based control over who can move content between stages.
