    How do you automatically change the parent post status to Pending when Broadcasting to another site?

    I need to avoid Google’s “duplicate post” penalty, and would also like to just not have two of the same posts in the multisite network.

    The official way to avoid post duplication penalties is to use the “canonical url” setting, you can find in Admin > Broadcast > Settings tab > SEO subtab.

    If you still insist on hiding the parent during broadcasting, you’ll have to write a code snippet for that. I have a collection of snippets here https://broadcast.plainviewplugins.com/doc/documentation/

    What you’re looking to do, I guess, is hook into the threewp_broadcast_broadcasting_finished action, and from the $action->broadcasting_data->post->ID you get the ID of the post parent, which you can then update the post status of.
