Matthew Brown<p><strong>How to set a draft WordPress post to Pending in three easy steps</strong></p><p>So, you’ve written a blog post and want feedback from the rest of the team? Great to hear. I guess you will now want to set it to Pending. Here’s how.</p><p>Look right. You should see something like this:</p> <p>This screenshot was taken from my editing screen as I wrote this.</p><p>If the Block tab is highlighted, click the Post tab.</p><p>If the sidebar is missing or showing something else, click the sidebar button. Show here in a black square.</p><p>Look for the Status thing. Yours, like mine, probably says “Draft”. Give it a click.</p> <p>You now have a bunch of options. The second one down is the Pending setting.</p><p>You are almost done.</p><p>Click anywhere to close that floating menu. Your blue Publish button at the top right should now have become a blue Save button. Click it.</p> <p>When it then says Publish again, your post is now saved as pending.</p><p>This post you have been reading is, as I write this, now a pending post. I’m going to go ahead and hit publish so other people can read it.</p><p>I hope this was helpful.</p> <a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/mastodon?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Flordmatt.co.uk%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-a-draft-wordpress-post-to-pending-in-three-easy-steps%2F&amp;linkname=How%20to%20set%20a%20draft%20WordPress%20post%20to%20Pending%20in%20three%20easy%20steps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/wordpress?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Flordmatt.co.uk%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-a-draft-wordpress-post-to-pending-in-three-easy-steps%2F&amp;linkname=How%20to%20set%20a%20draft%20WordPress%20post%20to%20Pending%20in%20three%20easy%20steps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Flordmatt.co.uk%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-a-draft-wordpress-post-to-pending-in-three-easy-steps%2F&amp;linkname=How%20to%20set%20a%20draft%20WordPress%20post%20to%20Pending%20in%20three%20easy%20steps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/tumblr?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Flordmatt.co.uk%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-a-draft-wordpress-post-to-pending-in-three-easy-steps%2F&amp;linkname=How%20to%20set%20a%20draft%20WordPress%20post%20to%20Pending%20in%20three%20easy%20steps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/blogger?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Flordmatt.co.uk%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-a-draft-wordpress-post-to-pending-in-three-easy-steps%2F&amp;linkname=How%20to%20set%20a%20draft%20WordPress%20post%20to%20Pending%20in%20three%20easy%20steps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/diaspora?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Flordmatt.co.uk%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-a-draft-wordpress-post-to-pending-in-three-easy-steps%2F&amp;linkname=How%20to%20set%20a%20draft%20WordPress%20post%20to%20Pending%20in%20three%20easy%20steps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Flordmatt.co.uk%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-set-a-draft-wordpress-post-to-pending-in-three-easy-steps%2F&amp;linkname=How%20to%20set%20a%20draft%20WordPress%20post%20to%20Pending%20in%20three%20easy%20steps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lordmatt.co.uk/tag/pending/" target="_blank">#Pending</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lordmatt.co.uk/tag/post-creation/" target="_blank">#postCreation</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lordmatt.co.uk/tag/publish/" target="_blank">#Publish</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lordmatt.co.uk/tag/wordpress/" target="_blank">#WordPress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lordmatt.co.uk/tag/workflow/" target="_blank">#workflow</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://lordmatt.co.uk/cat/tutorials/" target="_blank">#Tutorials</a></p>
