Approval Workflow Plugin

Approval Workflow is meant to create a workflow process in WordPress. This plugin adds a box to the post edit screen when a user does not have publish permissions for that post type. It also allows you to set a WordPress role as the approvers. Note: this role must have publish permissions. The approvers get notified by email when someone has submitted something to the workflow. This works on WordPress Multisite too.

If you need help setting up the roles, I’d recommend the Members plugin.

1. Copy the plugin files to wp-content/plugins/

2. Activate plugin from Plugins page or Network Activate for multisite

3. Go to Settings -> Approval Workflow to adjust plugin settings

4. You must ensure the users you want to approve are in a role that does not have publish_page (or any publish permissions for other post types) permissions.
