Hello

When a user copies a post in frontend (see attached image), the newly created post has the "Published" state. I really consider this is an issue, especially when this user is not granted the right to publish posts (through ACLs).

New article should be unpublished, or downgraded to Draft or whatever, but in any case should not appear on the site for visitors after copy.

Thank you for your attention

.Fixed in EB 5.0.32
This is what you can do temporarily, edit the file /administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/post/post.php and at line 863 locate the codes below,



$data->published = EASYBLOG_POST_PUBLISHED;


Replace it with,



$data->published = EASYBLOG_POST_UNPUBLISHED;

Thank you Mark.

Will this modification be included in the next release of EB? I really think it should. When you copy a post, this is certainly not because you want to create duplicate content So I think the post should be unpublished the time you modify the copied post and publish it again.

That's the way it works for Joomla articles: when you copy an article, the newly created article is unpublished.
