What is the difference between Published and enabled?

Hi everyone,

I’m a bit confused about the difference between the “Published” and “Enabled” flags in October CMS. Could someone help clarify what each of them controls?

Also, is there a way to filter entries that are not enabled in the backend table view?

Appreciate any insights or tips from those with experience. T


Thanks in advance!

Hi @abbasadel

Published means it is visible on the website, which could be at some future date (scheduled). Enabled means it can never be shown on the website. They are similar and the word “Published” is a composite state based on several variables (enabled, not expired, after scheduled).

Thanks @daft

Do you know if is there a way to filter entries that are not enabled in the backend table view? Right now I have to go to each entry to see if it enabled or not.

Thank you

You can use the status dropdown filter and select “Hidden”. This will include published, expired and schedule entries that are disabled. The only combination that this will not include is disabled drafts.
