After a page draft is published, it creates a child page instead of merging to t

  • Hi,

    I recently discovered this plugin, and it is simple and seems to work perfectly with multiple users flow I want. However, I encounter a problem.

    Can you please take a look and possibly fix this issue?

    Issue:
    After a page draft is published, it creates a child page instead of merging to the parent.

    Steps to reproduce:

    (let’s say I want to update “sample.com/example-page”)

    1. Create a draft page using “Save a Draft”
    2. “sample.com/example-page/example-page-draft/” gets created and keep revising until an editor likes.
    3. Click “Submit for review”
    (“sample.com/example-page/example-page-draft/” becomes “sample.com/example-page/” as Pending”
    4. Admin user publishes the page

    Result:
    Instead of “sample.com/example-page/” is published, “sample.com/example-page/example-page” is published. The child page is not merged to the parent page.

    WordPress version:
    WordPress 3.5.2 Maintenance and Security Release (June 21, 2013)

    Plugin version:
    0.7.3

    Hi,

    Thanks for documenting this. Is “Submit for Review” (multi-site?) a native feature or part of a plugin? On a new install I see that I can change the status to ‘Pending Review’ and then I can ‘Save as Pending,’ however I don’t see the option to ‘Submit for Review.’

    In any case, I suspect that the action of submitting for review is changing the post status. This plugin uses a custom post status to distinguish itself apart from other posts, and hooks on publish action check for that status before merging changes, etc.

    With a little more info on how to ‘Submit for Review’ I can check into this further.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I think that “Submit for Review” is a native feature. (I did not enable multi-site, btw).

    A user without “publish_pages” and “publish_posts” permission see “Submit for Review” instead of “Publish” or “Update” button. In my workflow, multiple people with different roles are involved. Simply, I’d like to prevent publishing without review.

    My ideal workflow:
    1. Non-Admin user updates published page/post or create a new post, and save as draft
    2. When non-Admin user is ready to send the page/post for review, click “Submit for Review”
    3. Admin user sees the page/post as “Pending.” He/she can preview the page, and compare revisions if necessary.
    4. Admin users publishes the page/post.

    It would be super nice if users with different roles can work together.

    Thank you!
