Can Default Post Statuses Be Modified?

    Hey guys, I’m not 100% sure if the default post statuses can be modified (name changed) and/or removed via built in functions. I know you can add custom post statuses via the register_post_status function. I’m not worried about custom modifications where someone has changed the core structure, just if there is an out of the box function that does this. Before I work out some code on my own plugin I need to know if this structure can be changed via another plugin that maybe installed.

    If I was to understand the documentation correctly, they can not as well as no custom status could have the same name as the default statuses.

    thanks.

    The documentation you saw is correct, they cannot be changed. However, it’s conceivable some plugin could act as a sort of translating intermediary that intercepts the transmission of statuses and alters them. This would give the appearance that the statuses were renamed, but in fact they remain and were merely altered along the way. I can’t imagine why a plugin would do this, but it’s remotely conceivable. The fact remains that core statuses remain unchanged.
