Can I customize the available post statuses?

Absolutely. By default, Nelio Content exposes the following post statuses for all its managed post types, which correspond to WordPress’ default statuses:

• Draft
• Pending Review
• Scheduled
• Published
• Private

If you want to use a different set of statuses for a specific post type, you can do so in the Editorial Tools » Custom Statuses tab of the Nelio Content Settings.

Add, edit & delete custom statuses

If you want to use a different set of statuses for a given post type, you can add a new custom post status. Click Add Custom Status and add the following information:

• General:
  • Slug (required): the unique ID for the post status
  • Status label (required): a descriptive name for the post status.
  • Description: a description for administrative use, to give some context on what the custom status is to be used for.
• Display:
  • Main color: if the status active
  • Background color: if the status is disabled
  • Icon: to represent the post status
• Post Types: choose which post types can be set to this status
• Roles: choose which user roles can assign this status to a post.

You can also edit or delete any of the statuses you have created by hovering over the status you want to modify or delete and clicking on the “Edit” or “Delete” link.

Note that WordPress Core statuses can only be edited but not deleted.
