[Resolved] View Filter is set for “status of publish” but also displays “pending” posts

I want to create a view that lists only published posts.

I have set the Query Filters:
Post status filter
Select posts with status of publish.

but in the view also posts with status "pending review" are displayed.
View Caching is off.

What setting am I overlooking to get the pending posts really filtered out?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

That is really strange.

Can you please share problem URL where you added your view as well as admin access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

The issue was - you have added the following code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset with the code snippet "display-pending":
=> hidden link

function ts_filter_query( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ){
 
    if ( $view_id == '867' or '879' or  '881' )
    {
        $query_args['post_status'][] = 'pending';
    }
     
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'ts_filter_query', 101, 3 );

I found the above code is added incorrectly. I've corrected it as given under and saved the code snippet:

function ts_filter_query( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ){
 
    if ( $view_id == '867' or $view_id =='879' or $view_id =='881' )
    {
        $query_args['post_status'][] = 'pending';
    }
     
    return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'ts_filter_query', 101, 3 );

Can you please check now and confirm it works as expected:
- hidden link

Thank you, yes now it is behaving as expected.

I must admit that I wasn't aware of such added snippets code 😳
