Post Statuses
Upon creation, the post is in Draft by default. You can change its status according to your editorial workflow:
- Draft: In progress
- To Validate: Submitted for validation
- Validated: Approved by an editor
- Scheduled: Post scheduled for a later date
- Published: Visible online
- Trash: Deleted (recoverable)
For more information, refer to Statuses and Workflow.
Private post
By enabling the Private option, the post becomes accessible only to logged-in members. Authentication is managed via the JWT plugin: ensure it is enabled for this feature to be operational.
