FAQ
Is this plugin compatible with WordPress 5.0 / “Gutenberg”?
Yes. This plugin has no direct integrations with the content editor, therefore all features and settings work without modification.
If you rely on a plugin that creates or lets you manage custom post statuses, make sure to check if that plugin works with WordPress 5.0.
Where are the Settings?
- Settings > Writing.
- Look for the “Settings for ‘Post Status Menu Items'” section.
How Do I Turn the Menus On or Off for a Post Type?
- Go to the plugin’s settings (see above).
- Check or uncheck the post types you do or don’t want to display post statuses for.
- Click “Save Changes”
Can I suggest a feature?
