Hi,
the posts get a Temporary status when in [adverts_add] shortcode you either add an image to the gallery or go from the form to the preview.
The temporary post should be automatically removed when you abandon the page with [adverts_add] shortcode.
On the other hand if you will go from Preview to Publish then the temporary status should change to pending.
The message core::on_draft_to_pending_notify_admin is assigned to advert_tmp_to_pending post status transition so it should fire when you go to the last step in [adverts_add].
“On the other hand if you will go from Preview to Publish then the temporary status should change to pending.” I believe this is not happening, user clicks “publish” (and that should set it for moderation), but it just sits in temporary
Can you share the URL of the page where you are having this problem so i can take a look at your setup on-site?
That is do you use the WooCommerce Integration or the default Payments Module or maybe you are not using any of these?

I don’t have anything but Core and E-mail modules activated, all ads are free
Thanks 🙂
Hi,
ok thanks for the information, with just plain WPAdverts i think i know where is the problem coming from.
It seems you are using child templates specifically for add-preview.php template file. In version 1.4 we added nonces to better secure the form but this update required our users to update the add-preivew.php child template file.
In your case there seems to be an old version of add-preview.php since i cannot see the _post_id_nonce field in the source code.
To fix the problem you would need to update your add-preview.php file, most likely it is somewhere in your current (child) theme directory or maybe you have a custom plugin installed that overwrites the files.
Once you find it you can either delete the custom add-preview.php file (so the original file will be used) you have or replace it with the add-preview.php from the original WPAdverts source code.
Hi Greg, I’ve updated the template add-preview.php and that seemed to fix the issue.
But it seems the ad get Temporary status as well, is there any other template that I possibly need to update?
Hi,
you should not need to change any other files at least as far as the temporary state is concerned.
I am not exactly sure about your question, you wrote that the update fixed the issue but it still happens?
The ads should actually get a Tmp status but only for a while, that is the status is granted when user adds an image or goes to the preview.
The Tmp status should be either:
– changed to pending or publish when the user will go from preview to publish
– the Ad with Tmp status should be deleted if the user abandons the page with [adverts_add] shortcode
In other words if you do get Ads with Tmp status but the Ads disappear then the plugin seems to be working as expected.
Fixed – as in the ad moves to Pending status for moderation, doesn’t just sit in Temporary as before.
Thanks for help! 🙂
