When you create or edit Editorial Metadata, there should be a drop-down near the bottom labeled “Viewable.” Just need to select “Yes.”

But it doesn’t make it sortable.

Ok, so this works for me when inserted into my “functions.php” file in my theme. To clarify, I called my editorial metadata “Working on”, and gave it a type of “user.” That’s why I’m looking for a post_meta called “_ef_editorial_meta_user_working-on”. The “_ef_editorial_meta” is prepended for editorial metadata as post meta being inserted into the database. The “_user” is another string prepended because I selected a type of “user”, and then “working-on” is just the name of my editorial meta data (uncapitalized and spaces replaced with dashes Ninja Edit: It might actually be the slug that’s being appended, not just the name decapitalized and dashes removed. I’ll double check). To double check, just save a post with the meta data of your choice and look at the database to see how it’s been saved. But is should save along the lines of the formula above.

I could not for the life of me figure out where the sortable_columns filter is applied. I’m still trying to hunt it down just cause I’m curious, but it works at making it sortable. I called my column “Editor,” which you’ll see in the add_editor_columns function.

Feel free to post back here if you’re having problems or if the code needs more ‘splainin.

// Getting metadata to show up on posts table
add_action( 'manage_posts_custom_column' , 'ef_custom_column', 10, 2 );

function ef_custom_column($column, $post_id) {
	if( $column == 'editor' ) {
		$user_id = (int)get_post_meta($post_id, '_ef_editorial_meta_user_working-on', true );
		$editor = get_user_by('id', $user_id);
		echo $editor->user_nicename;
	}
}

add_filter('manage_post_posts_columns' , 'add_editor_columns');

function add_editor_columns($columns) {
    return array_merge($columns,
              array('editor' => __('Editor')));
}

add_filter( 'manage_edit-post_sortable_columns', 'make_editor_sortable' );

function make_editor_sortable($columns) {
	$columns['editor'] = 'editor';
	return $columns;
}

Ok, think I located the issue. I believe it has to do with a call to get_post in the Edit Flow source. You can see from that link where it says $post_id there’s some mention of the problem you’re having. I’m going to create an issue on GitHub for this and patch it up. In the meantime, I’d wait to see if Daniel pops on and has some suggestions about how this could be worked around. Seems like the errors being triggered in relation to some issue with the post_type. If I think of anything else, I’ll post it here.

What sort of docs are you looking for? There’s a whole website with a list of the features that the plugin includes. Does it not provide enough info?

Just curious as to what kind of extra information you’re looking for.

When you save a post for the first time, do you see a checkbox next to your user name in the notifications box (the box called “Notifications,” usually below the post content area?

When you uncheck that, do you still get notifications?
