Regarding #1: I have deactivated some plugins for a test but not all of them. I can give that a shot. Is there a way to restore Edit Flow to the original settings? The plugin seemed to be working fine when I first installed it.
Regarding #2: I must have needed to get more sleep 🙂 Thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious. Evidently, all is working as it should there.
Thanks for getting back with me so quickly.
We developed a custom child theme off of Modernize.
Now, our status column no longer shows in the all posts view of the dashboard unless we have Edit Flow custom status enabled, so now we are really stuck until we find a solution . . .
I look forward to your help!
