 * We have installed Edit Flow on Multiple Blogs and have found the new posts are
   not saving when being saved by a contributor or a user using a mobile device.
   We never had this issue prior to using Edit Flow. We are using Edit Flow v0.7.
 * I hope that someone can shed some light on how to fix this.
 * Thanks

 * Are you using the custom statuses feature, and are the users using WordPress 
   for iOS? Custom statuses probably won’t work reliably in the mobile app, as the
   feature isn’t fully fleshed out in core.

 * Hi Daniel,
 * We have gone out to all our contributors and it does not seem to be an issue 
   with using iOS, as the same problem is happening with users on a PC.
 * This seems to only be an issue with users with the contributor role. Editors 
   dont have this problem.
 * The other issue is that it happens only sometimes, so not sure of the exact cause
   of the error

 * Some more info on the problem:
    When the contributor saves the initial post, 
   the draft actually saves, the notification box appears at the top of the page
   saying draft updated, with a preview link, but if the preview link is clicked
   nothing loads. Then if the contributor returns to the posts list, it isn’t listed.
 * The articles do definitely upload – as the item count on the
    “All” posts tab
   goes up, even though the post isn’t listed on the tab. So they are uploading 
   but then they are hidden somewhere.

 * Oh, it sounds like they’re saving to the “Draft” status and it probably doesn’t
   exist anymore. Did you delete it from the custom statuses listing?

 * The ‘draft’ status is definitely still there, however I may have deleted it and
   put it back initial during setup.
 * Possibly it lost its connection to the status. Although the default status in
   our setup is ‘pending review’

 * Do you have any other tags or categories named “Draft”? I suspect you may have
   a [similar problem to this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-edit-flow-problems-with-custom-statuses?replies=9).
 * Also, to confirm, you’ve disabled all other plugins while testing this, and the
   problem persists?
