Suggestion: Ability to define Status Slug

    Hi,

    I would like to suggest that the user can edit the slug of a custom status or at least define it for the first time. This is because if a non-English name was used for the custom status, the slug would sometimes appear as a long set of characters making no sense.

    I think this might also be the reason why we can’t use other languages (such as Arabic) when creating custom statuses?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the feature request, Ala7lam. I’ll think about it, but no guarantees — historically, the ability has been removed because editing the slug can cause you to lose all of your posts.

    In the interim, I might recommend directly editing the slug in the database. If you do this before you assign any posts to the status, you should be fine.

    I can see where you are coming from for sure. I will give the DB change a go.

    Is there a way to make these statuses translate-able? Therefore, having the slug as it is but being able to change the actual name that appears on the drop-down menu for example?

    This might be another way of achieving it without causing the issues you referred to.

    Many thanks!

    Forgot to mention that allowing the user to define the slug only on creation and locking it after that is another approach :).

    Thanks!
