Post status filtering
Overview
Post status filtering defines which types of content are included in a loop, based on their publication state. With Divi Loop Extender, you can tailor loops for both front-end visitors and administrative dashboards.
For example, you might:
- Show only published content to public visitors.
- Build editorial dashboards that display drafts or pending posts.
- Preview scheduled (future) content on private or staging pages.
- Restrict private posts for logged-in members only.
This feature works seamlessly with WordPress’ native post statuses and recognizes additional custom statuses registered by third-party plugins when supported.
Where to find it
- Open the page or template in the Divi 5 builder.
- Select the parent container where the Loop is enabled.
- Open the Loop accordion in the sidebar.
- Scroll to the Post Status setting under the query controls provided by Divi Loop Extender.
