Topic Tag: Views plugin

Problem:
The user would like to update post statuses from the frontend.

Solution:
Forms do not offer a post status field. To work around it, use a Generic field and custom code to update the post status. Check this reply https://toolset.com/forums/topic/manage-native-wordpress-post-status-in-cred-form/#post-489972

Problem:
The user would like to display draft posts for logged-in users.

Solution:
There are two ways to achieve this:
1. Using two views, that are displayed conditionally based on the logged in users.
One view will be displayed to non logged in users.
Another view will be displayed to logged-in users. In this view, add a query filter on post status to choose the statuses that you want to display. Check this article https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views/filtering-views-query-by-post-status/

2. Using one view, and altering the query filter programmatically. You can use the wpv_filter_query and if the user is logged in, add the other statuses to the view's query arguments.
