LH Archived Post status is a WordPress extension that creates an additional posts status available for content that may no longer be relevant to most visitors but should be available publicly (perhaps for historical purposes).



I built this plugin as UI needed this flexibility whilst using WordPress as a CMS. The plugin adds a new post status that enables posts and pages (and custom post types) to be archived.

Posts are available directly for any visitor but can have a custom message added that flags that they may no longer be relevant.

Of the eight default statuses, Published is the only one that is public, while all the rest remain behind the curtain in various states of unreadiness. None of the statuses, apart from Published, adequately indicate that a post is complete or finished or its relevancy.



Fortunately, WordPress makes it possible for developers to register their own custom post statuses, which is what I&#8217;ve done with this plugin.  It allows you to archive posts in the same way that you might archive email.
