# Default false for should_submit_post, checkbox to submit

 * Hi,
 * I’d like to set the plugin default to not publishing articles, ie setting the
   filter should_submit_post to false.
 * Then on the FBIA metabox, create a checkbox to tick to send the article to convert
   to FBIA.
 * Is it possible to do this via functions.php ?
 * I’ve read through the github on several threads related to this (like [https://github.com/Automattic/facebook-instant-articles-wp/pull/504](https://github.com/Automattic/facebook-instant-articles-wp/pull/504))
   but did not find any way of doing this. And i’m not really coding-literate.
 * In desperate need of help. Thanks!
