register_post_status() WordPress Function
The register_post_status() function is used to register a new post status for a post type. This function takes two arguments: $post_status - The post status key. $args - An array of arguments. The $args array can contain the following: 'label' - The post status label. 'label_count' - The post status label when there is more than one post. 'public' - Whether the post status should be publicly queryable. 'show_in_admin_status_list' - Whether the post status should be shown in the list of post statuses in the admin area. 'show_in_admin_all_list' - Whether the post status should be shown in the list of all posts in the admin area. 'exclude_from_search' - Whether the post status should be excluded from search results. 'capability_type' - The post type capability type. The following example registers a post status with the key 'publish' and sets the label to 'Published': register_post_status( 'publish', array( 'label' => 'Published', 'public' => true, 'show_in_admin_status_list' => true, 'capability_type' => 'post' ) );
register_post_status( string $post_status, array|string $args = array() ) #
