Summary
Adds tools to migrate posts between statuses, addressing the long-standing issue of posts becoming inaccessible when Edit Flow is deactivated while posts have custom statuses.
wp edit-flow custom-status list- list all custom statuses with post countswp edit-flow custom-status migrate --from=pitch --to=draft- migrate posts between statuseswp edit-flow custom-status counts- show post counts per status for a post typeBackground
When Edit Flow is deactivated, posts with custom statuses (like "pitch", "assigned") remain in the database with those status values, but WordPress no longer recognizes them, making the posts inaccessible.
This adds "service-oriented" tools that allow users to migrate posts to core statuses before deactivating, or to re-enable Edit Flow, migrate posts, and then deactivate again.
