Post status
Organize Your Drafts with Post Statuses
Easily distinguish between new drafts and almost-finished drafts.
Post status
What exactly is a Draft?
Is it an empty post with a title? Or a finished post that hasn't been scheduled yet?
You can't tell the difference between these two posts in the Posts menu because there aren't statuses that describe the state of drafts.
WordPress only has statuses that describe the visibility a post, like whether it's published or not.
That's why Strive adds four new statuses designed to describe the state of your drafts.
These new statuses are:
- Not started
- Writing
- Editing
- Complete
While simple, these statuses are enough to effectively organize your drafts no matter what you write about.
Change the status from the editor
Easily update the status as you complete your posts.
View statuses in the calendar
Posts are color-coded in the calendar based on their status.
Works with the Classic Editor
Post statuses can be changed easily with the Classic Editor too.
