Please add option to change the post status

[lmartins]

In the plugin's description it should be more apparent that the plugin doesn't actually deactivate the post, just adds the prefix in the title.

Although there's some value in this, what probably most people would wan't is for the plugin to also change the post status in order for it to become unavailable at the public site.

Is this something you would consider adding to the plugin?

Thanks.

@pippinsplugins If I add the functionality to change the post status with a cron job, would be something you would be willing to include in the plugin?

Bare in mind im no expert on this, my role is mostly front-end although im finding myself increasingly involved with php and WordPress stuff.

@lmartins hope you don't mind me chiming in here. I had to have the functionality you're looking for in another project of mine this past weekend, so I forked another project called Unpublish and added it. The dev branch here has the functionality that sets the posts to draft status. https://github.com/mindctrl/Unpublish

I wouldn't mind seeing that feature added to Pippin's plugin here, but in case you need something quickly maybe the one I've linked will be of help to you, and maybe helpful if you eventually open a PR here.

I'd be more than happy to add the feature, I just haven't had time to do it myself.

Hey @mindctrl - Unpublish plugin is perfect, I have been looking for something like this for ages, but I'm still in the dark. Can you please help me to set every post made automatically expire after 2 months? This is literally all I need. All the other stuff I have been trying for weeks doesn't work because I use Gravity Forms to make posts from the front end.
