| paperweight | We currently have this option: Disable post editing while post in "pending" status It would be extremely beneficial to also add this function: Disable post editing when post is in "publish/live" status The reason: I want my users to ONLY edit posts if they have not submitted it. After they submit it, it should be in Draft status for the admin to approve it. So when it is submitted and when it is published, User should not have the ability to edit anything anymore. Is this possible to add? Ot is this possible to also have me tweak in the code now? Or, is this already available but I am not doing it correctly? ;) |

| Right, however I have a problem with post_status=draft and post_status=pending. They both appear to do the same thing in this WPUF Pro plugin? For example, when a user makes a Post but wants to save a draft, what post_status is that saved? Then when that user submits the Post to the Admin but we want to save it in Draft format before it is published by Admin, what post_status is that? I am trying to show text if the user saved a draft, but then I wan tto show other text when the user submits the Post but the Post is not yet published. So that is my problem, and it seems like pending and draft do the same thing here but they should not. Am I correct or am I looking at this problem incorrectly? 😉 |

If the user clicks save as draft, it saves as draft. Once he hits the submit button, then it follows the forms post_status setting. Your problems are complex and I am not sure how to answer them :-/ |

| Thanks Tareq. I don’t intend to pose difficult problems. 🙂 We are trying to configure it around our needs. I think we figured this out now. Great plugin and great support~ |
