you may be able to create a custom field in the form builder, in my example it’s called “post_status”, then give it a selectable value, like “private: which triggers a conditional in the post template to update the status in for the post.
untested..
<?php
(get_post_meta($post->ID,'post_status',true) )
if($value=='private' {
// Update post
$my_post = array();
$my_post['ID'] = $id;
$my_post['post_status'] = 'private';
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
?>
something is wrong with that, but I tested with this and it worked.
<?php $your_custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'poststatus', true);
if ( $your_custom_field == 'private' ) {
// Update post
$my_post = array();
$my_post['ID'] = $id;
$my_post['post_status'] = 'private';
// Update the post into the database
wp_update_post( $my_post );
}
?>
