Dragging drafts to calendar doesn’t publish them

    Hi there,

    I think this plugin idea is great, but I’m having some issues with it. I have a lot of draft posts, which I drag using the editorial calendar to the appropriate date. However, these draft posts don’t get published, it seems they only get published if I manually change the status to published. I was hoping this plugin would take care of that. Am I missing something, and is there a way to get this to work?

    Cheers,

    Erik

  • Hello Erik,

    Thank you for using the Editorial Calendar.

    When you drag a post from the drafts drawer to a specific date you are making the post be a draft with that specific date, but not changing it to be scheduled on that date. It’s very common that people will create a set of posts with just a title or a first draft and not want them to publish until they do more work. This is part of the normal WordPress post flow.

    It would be technically possible to change the calendar to make all posts be scheduled when you drag them out of the drafts drawer, but that would require a code change to the calendar that you would have to make.

    I’m happy to point you in the right direction if you’d like to try it.
