After editing post, ad goes into pending state.

I have my free ads set to publish automatically. When I edit an ad and click submit, the ad is now in pending state. It should publish automatically. Any idea why this might happen?

 

Hello,
Ad setting option is to control first time publishing of ad. If ad owner edit ad and update. It will move to pending for site admin approval.
It is not possible to publish is automatically.
System is intentionally designed in this way for security purpose.
Personally i will suggest you to check ad before publish.

 

This is a seriously negative issue, almost a deal-breaker for your product. How can I have a self-maintaining classified site when I have to approve things like this. What is the security issue exactly? I want people to be able to post and edit without having to intervene. Is there really absolutely no way to accomplish this?

 

A non-maintained social website will be spammed without intervention by a moderator.

 

That doesn't make sense, when you create a new ad, it is automatically published.

 

This was a SIMPLE fix. I can't imagine why you guys at Classicraft couldn't divulge the solution. If anyone else is looking for this, here is the fix.

1. Go to wp-content/themes/classicrafttheme/library/control/admin_settings/edit_ad.php
2. At the very beginning of the file, you will see: $post_status = "pending"; Change this to $post_status = "publish";
3. Save file and voila!

Now when you edit an ad, it will automatically be published.
