• This is a nice plugin, and I’ve got it working ok in my site. I have one slight problem though, when a author logs on to the website and writes a post.

    Scenario: Author logs on to web site and write a post, adds an image, put in some tags and an excerpt. But then feels that the post need more research and saves it as a draft. And when coming back to continue writing the post and finished writing it, the author presses the ‘Send’ button to notify the Editor about this new post.

    Problem: When the author presses ‘Send’ button on a saved draft, the article automatically becomes published. Even though I have set ‘Pending’ as status in the admin panels settings for Front End pluging.

    All posts need to be reviewed by a Editor / Admin before it is published onto the web site. But when saving as a draft, there seems to be a way around this setting, allowing anyone to post whatever content they like.

    Normally I would let authors log in to the limited back end to post ther content, but I opted to have a front end instead, as it is more “user friendly” to the common user.

    My website is using the latest versions, and is a vanilla installation without users and content. Other than the stuff I put there for demo ofc.
