'Duplicate Event' to Pending Review status

[Charles Bartlett]

This is a feature request to change how the ‘Duplicate Event’ link works.

Currently the link will copy the post and immediately publish it. (appends ‘copy’ to post Title and URL) If you have any kind of social media automation setup, this creates a lot of work.

I would like to propose that the ‘Duplicate Event’ feature changes the status of the copied event post to ‘Pending Review’. This would allow the user a chance to update the post before it’s published and triggers any downstream automation. (RSS feeds, Buffer, IFTTT, etc.)

Hey there @cbzen, thanks for getting in touch!

That’s a cool idea. Just to confirm: are you using another plugin for duplicating posts? That’s something The Events Calendar doesn’t do right out of the box, so I wonder if that functionality is coming from somewhere else.

Is that the case? Or perhaps you can point me where you are seeing the duplication link and I can check it out.

Thanks so much!
Geoff

Hi Geoff, my mistake. I’ve been using a plugin called Post Duplicator so long that I thought it was an Events Calendar Pro feature. https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-duplicator/

Turns out the bug is in that platform, so the quick reply is greatly appreciated.

My pleasure! Thanks for following up and confirming!

We are always looking for new ideas to make the plugins more awesome than they already are — definitely feel welcome to add any ideas to our feature request forum and we’d love to see them.

In the meantime, cheers and thanks again for reaching out!

Geoff
