Hi, When I'm logged in to my site as an instructor, and I navigate to the All Courses page, I can see Pending/Draft courses, regardless of those courses are created by me or not. Those are mainly courses submitted to the site but have yet to be approved by admin. I shouldn't be able to see those courses in the front right? Please help. Thanks!The courses which are not published and in drafts can be seen by the instructors on all courses page but these courses cannot be seen by the students on all courses page .Try adding the given code in your wplms-customizer.php file in wplms customizer plugin : add_filter('bp_course_wplms_filters','wplms_hide_draft_courses',99); function wplms_hide_draft_courses($query_args){ if(!current_user_can('manage_options')){ $query_args['post_status'] = array('publish'); } return $query_args; }Hi, thanks for the help but it didn't work. I added the code as such to wplms-customizer/wplms-customizer.php You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with wplms_customizer program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA */ add_filter('bp_course_wplms_filters','wplms_hide_draft_courses',99); function wplms_hide_draft_courses($query_args){ if(!current_user_can('manage_options')){ $query_args['post_status'] = array('publish'); } return $query_args; } Appreciate your further help. Thanks!Please note that only admins will see the courses on the all courses page if the above code added . Also you have to add the code at the end of the wplms-customizer.php file before " ?> " .Hi Alex: The code you have provided works to hide all draft/pending courses from instructors (which is good) However, it also hides an instructor's own PENDING courses from the front end (course directory etc.). The instructor can't even preview THEIR OWN course (until it is published). That is NOT good user experience or workflow, Is it possible to modify the code in some way so that an instructor is able to see/preview their own "pending courses". It is NOT going to work because let's say an instructor created a new course and sent to be approved by admin. But then he/she can't find a trace of it anywhere - firstly it will confuse the hell out of the instructor, secondly let's say the instructor wants to make some changes to the course (before it is published), there is no way for him/her to do that - because the pending course is just not visible. The ideal situation is that an instructor is not able to see other instructors' Draft/Pending courses but should be able to see their own. thanks!This is not possible as of now. There is only one query which runs for fetching courses, what you're suggesting would require two WP Querys and we'll then have to merge results into one. So, unfortunately it is not possible as of now.I don't know much about databases, is it not possible to have a separate page where we query for the draft and pending posts for instructors? Is there some workaround or creative solution to this?Can we not create something like this on a separate page and connect this to view course button as shown here -> https://cloudup.com/cDAW6kXICfY This page will live separately from Course Directory page and will create a separate link for easy access in instructor menu etc?? Is this not a viable solution for the time being? <?php //if a certain page, then display posts authored by the logged in user $page_title = 'Contributors Page'; if ( is_user_logged_in() && is_page($page_title) ) { global $current_user; get_currentuserinfo(); echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n"; $args=array( 'author' => $current_user->ID, 'post_type' => 'course', 'post_status' => 'pending',
