Custom status bug – Users can't save mods on scheduled posts

  • Im using edit flow only for custom status and theres a big bug I noticed:

    When an user doesnt have user capabilities of publish_posts and an author/editor/admin schedules his post, he wont be able to save any mod while its in schedule mode. If he has capabilities of edit_published_posts he will be able to edit it after its published, but it will never have an option while its on scheduled

  • As mentioned on Github, I think this might have to do with changes in WP 4.4.

    Did you have a chance to check that out?

    @gabu69 can you tell me more about this? I know for you it’s a bug or problem, but it sounds like something I WANT to do that I was going to ask for as a feature request.

    On one site that I’ve just installed EditFlow for, the site owner does NOT want anyone editing posts after they have been scheduled (except for admins/editors, so not for authors or contributors). I found some code online to add to my functions.php (it’s a few years old though), but it sounds like maybe I don’t need it?

    Its a problem ive seen, while its on scheduled it wont be able to be edited only by people who have capabilities to publish posts

    After its been published it will be able to be edited
    Its a mess

    Interesting……

    I found this page at the Plugin’s site, it mentions that it modifies some default WP behaviour to allow users who *don’t* have the permission level to publish posts to edit them…..

    https://editflow.org/extend/limit-custom-statuses-based-on-user-role/

    It does have a code example to change this if one wants to, as I do, so I’m planning to adapt that code to my needs and include it in my functions….

    What that means though is that what you’re experiencing is partly a bug and partly by design (EditFlow is *designed* to allow editing of posts after publication by users who wouldn’t ordinarily be able to), but the fact that it isn’t working like that while posts are *scheduled* but not yet published does sound like a bug.
