 * Hi,
 * I have a Gravity Forms form that I used to allow people to submit posts, by default
   these posts are submitted as ‘Private’, so I or another moderator can set the
   posts to ‘Publish’.
 * What I am wondering is if there is a way to give points to the author of the 
   post once the article is published as to opposed to when the user first submits
   the post. This way points are only giving to those that have their posts approved.
 * Cheers,
    Chris

 * Hi.
 * Sure. You could adjust this via some code snippet. By default myCRED will count
   private post publishing as “published”. But you can remove this.
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'mycred_publish_hook_new', 'mycred_pro_adjust_publish_statuses' );
       function mycred_pro_adjust_publish_statuses() {
   
       	return array( 'publish' );
   
       }
       ```
   
 * Place this in your child theme’s functions.php file and the hook should only 
   award points when a post gets the “Published” status.

 * Hi.
 * How can I give some points to the moderator and some points to the author of 
   the post?! for example 20 points to the moderator for publishing or deleting 
   posts and 100 points for the author if it’s published.
 * actually I think I need the code that is talked about at the end of this topic:
