PublishPress Statuses Pro 1.3.1

PublishPress Statuses Pro is a WordPress plugin that lets you add custom post statuses beyond the default Draft and Pending Review. It helps teams tailor publishing workflows to match how your content is created, reviewed, and approved. Instead of forcing everything into generic states, you can define pre-publishing steps and clear checkpoints before anything goes live.

With custom statuses for WordPress posts and workflows, your editors can prepare content confidently, while visibility statuses help manage who can see published work. The plugin fits into your existing editorial process with a clean, usable UI—so publishing and collaboration stay organized as your site grows.
