I arranged the statuses to put “Pitch” status on the top but a new post still defaults to “Draft” status. How can I make “Pitch” the default new post status?
@joeco The new plugin is called PublishPress Statuses. It is already available on GitHub, but we are waiting until the first week of January to launch it here. WordPress has some hard-coded behavior that causes a post to always start in the draft status. Instead of fighting that, this new plugin causes the next status selection in your publication workflow to be selected by default.
Publish panel toggle button is relabeled as Workflow. Click it:
2. Selection defaults to next available status, Pitch:
3. The post status is now “Pitch”:
4. Plugin setting (Statuses > Settings) required to enable this workflow behavior:
If you are familiar with installing pre-releases from GitHub, you can find this plugin there along with the compatible PublishPress Planner release (version 4.0.0). Otherwise, watch for releases here in the first week of January.
