    Hello
    I have a Spanish WP installation. Its an ecommerce site, i needed the plugin to organize my products. I have published, draft and pending products.
    So I renamed the default statuses to my prefered language. I also removed some and created others. I cant remember what i´ve done exactly.

    But this is the actual situation:
    *) I only have the draft status in the custom statuses section.
    Here is a screenshot: http://i58.tinypic.com/2r4u1.png

    *) If i want to create the PENDING status this message appears:

    “Status name conflicts with existing term. Please choose another.”

    *) If i activate Edit flow, all my pending products disappear, and i can´t even search for them. I can only see my pending products if I deactivate Edit Flow.

    *) I can´t set a different custom status as default status. Its stacked in the Draft status now.

    *) I went to PHPmyadmin and removed everything that said edit_flow, but nothing happened.

    *) Finally decided to restore database. After restoring all my database changes are restored but Edit Flow options are NOT!! How is even that possible? Where do Edit Flow stores the data?

    Please i need to uninstall or remove any change the plugin did to my wordpress site or database. I need to know what data in the DB or file in WP should i delete so it goes back to its default options!

    You should create an option to remove Edit Flow options and restore to its default after uninstall. You should advice people not to touch the names of the custom statuses, or lock them instead.

    Please, i need help!

    I’ve made a suggestion in the related Github issue.

    The short version is, since you have DB access, you can replace any custom status slugs in wp_posts.status with a core status of your choice.

    Nathan, I want to thank you for your response.
    I finally could restore an old DB, and the site is working fine again.
    But i really dont know why the inmediate old backup wasnt making effect. I had to restore a backup from a few days before.

    Its a great plugin, but we should be careful. I advice you to create an alert message if the user is going to rename the statuses.

    Anyway, thank you very much for your concern and help!
