Default published status or bulk edit status?

Hi, is there a way to make the default status published instead of pending?

Alternatively, is there a way to bulk edit the status of many requests from pending to published? It seems that I have to approve each one individually which is quite time consuming.

Thanks!

Hey,

Bulk editing statuses can be done with Pro: https://docs.simplefeaturerequests.com/pro-features/bulk-edit-statuses

but you could also set the default status using a code snippet on the jck_sfr_get_default_post_status filter. it should just return a string with the status (i.e. publish)

Hi James, I tried the code below but it does not work. Am I doing something wrong?
```
add_action( 'jck_sfr_get_default_post_status', 'jck_sfr_set_default_status' );
/**
 * Set the default status for feature requests
 */
function jck_sfr_set_default_status() {
	$status = "publish";
    return status;
}
```

Ah I had a typo – sorry. I was missing the $ on the return variable. Now it’s working fine! 🙂

Here’s the working code:
```
add_action( 'jck_sfr_get_default_post_status', 'jck_sfr_set_default_status' );
/**
 * Set the default status for feature requests
 */
function jck_sfr_set_default_status() {
	$status = "publish";
    return $status;
}
```

Yep, good catch! You can also just do this:
```
add_action( 'jck_sfr_get_default_post_status', 'jck_sfr_set_default_status' );

/**
 * Set the default status for feature requests
 */
function jck_sfr_set_default_status() {
    return "publish";
}
```
