SafeCracker Entries Created With Status “Closed”

Question

Here is how its setup.

The Channel: Personal Trainer Directory

Edit Group Assignments

Status Groups: Statuses

Edit Preferences

Default Status: Open

Member Group Settings

Channel Assignment

Can post and edit entries in Personal Trainer Directory: Yes

Module Access Privileges

Can access module SafeCracker: Yes

SafeCracker Module Settings

Personal Trainer Directory

Default Status: Open

SafeCracker tag

{exp:safecracker
channel="personal_trainer_directory"
return="/member/profile"
entry_id="{segment_3}"
status="open"
safecracker_head="no"
use_live_url="no"
url_title=""
}

The entries are being created fine, just dont understand why they are showing up as closed still. Is there anything that I forgot?

Edit: I added the Member Group Settings section above, I forgot to add that initially so I'm still having the same issue

Answer 1

Make sure that the member adding the entry is in a group that has access to the non-closed statuses. Before you do that, ensure a status group is assigned to the channel. Superadmins can use Open and Closed even without a status group assigned; but others can't - and that is the most common cause of what you're seeing.

Answer 2

I was having this problem. Try removing status="open" from the Safecracker tag altogether. Worked for me.
