[Resolved] Can users set status from published to draft from the front end?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The question being asked here is that the user wanted to allow his customers to change their post status through the frontend using CRED.

Solution:

Unfortunately an option like this is not available in our CRED plugins.

The reason I believe is that only Admins can have access to the posts that are not published. Regular users wouldn't have access to these posts normally because they wouldn't have access to the backend to view them.

Any solution for this would have to be a custom one.

It's a great feature to allow front-end users to delete their own posts with [cred_delete_post_link]. I was wondering if there was any similar way for front-end users to change the status of their posts from Draft to Publish and back again (disabling or enabling their posts). Thanks.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Thanks,
