(More obvious) Log of post_status changes

  • For our site it’s important to track when and by whom the status (mainly draft and published) of posts (custom or otherwise) was changed. Maybe I’m blind, but it seems to me that the SimplePostLogger doesn’t cover that? At least so far we are not seeing such changes in the Simple History log.

    Is it possible that this is being added soon, or exists there code we can already use to extend Simple History? Thanks in advance!

    It should log those things. On my sites it logs changes to post statuses. Could you provide some detailed step-by-step instructions how to reproduce this?

    Sorry for the delay. Covering all possible processes we use took some time clarifying. This is what can happen:

    • Publishing/de-publishing on the usual edit post page: fully covered by Simple History
    • Schedule publishing in the future on the usual edit post page: scheduled status seems to be covered by Simple History, but when the publishing actually happens isn’t
    • Change status through Quick Edit on the listing page: Simple History appears to cover everything but the status change
    • Change status through Bulk actions > Edit on the listing page: Simple History appears to cover everything but the status change

    Hope this helps finding some potential existing issues. Thanks!

    Thanks for the detailed info. I’ve added a GitHub issue for this and I will try to reproduce it.
