[wp-hackers] do I need to register custom post_status-es?

[Davit Barbakadze]

Thanks Mike,

Actually this is something I was looking for, but then you are right
it's not available in wp 2.9.x. Obviously something similar has to be
done in wp < 3.0, but wondering what exactly.

@Tim,

Yes, those are not built in post_status-es, and probably if I not come
to some solution somehow, I will turn to use publish and draft instead
of active/inactive. But making custom post_statuses work can be very
useful later on.

The second link shows you an example manage_pages_query.  I wasn't 100% sure of this solution so I offered it up by saying "I think..." assuming it would give you what you need to solve the problem.

Sorry for the prior inadvertent misdirection but the best I've been able to tell is that maybe you haven't run register_post_status() in your plugin or theme's functions.php file?, i.e.:
