 * I was able to set post as pending as default at /inc/ajax.php ‘post_status’ =
   > ‘pending’ so now when a post is submitted I can review it but when the user
   hits submit I need a message that says “your post has been successfully submitted
   and will appear when approved.”

 * Alas, that sort of functionality change is beyond the scope of support we can
   provide for P2. Also keep in mind that if you make any changes directly in the
   theme, they’ll be wiped out every time the theme is updated, so be sure to make
   a backup and keep a record of your changes. The best way to make changes is to
   use a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) so your tweaks will
   be protected when you update.

 * If another user has solved this and wants to chime in, they are of course very
   welcome to do so.
