I ran into this same problem. Note to plugin author: it looks to me like the problem is in these lines:
if (!isset($existing_id)) {
$new_post[‘post_status’] = $opt_draft;
}
I’m not sure *why* that’s not working correctly, but for some reason, even when there’s no existing ID, post_status doesn’t get set.
Because I’m not using the update-existing-posts feature right now, I worked around the problem by adding an extra copy of this line:
$new_post[‘post_status’] = $opt_draft;
just below the end of the above conditional block. That works correctly. But that won’t work properly for people who are using the updating-existing-posts feature. And the fact that the conditional is broken makes me wonder if $existing_id is getting set when it shouldn’t, or something.
Anyway, I’m not sure why it’s breaking, but I thought it might be useful to you to have a report of exactly where it’s breaking.
