#12960 new enhancement

Number of posts on the Users page should include drafts and pending review

Description

The numbers of posts on the Users page currently only include published posts, which I think is not good enough. For example, I have a contributor who has only written a few drafts and submitted a few articles for review.

If I decide to delete him and base my decision on what I see on the Users page, I would probably just go with the "Delete the user and all his posts" option, which would delete more than I would expect.

Refreshed the patch with current trunk in 12960.2.diff

This needs to be tested as the function get_posts_by_author_sql is also used in WP_User_Query->parse_orderby()

Thanks for the ticket @archon810. Yeah it's 10 years old now! Hopefully this could gain traction soon.

While @Nikschavan patch works (thanks for the patch!), I don't think directly changing the SQL inside get_posts_by_author_sql() is the best approach since it could lead to unwanted changes to any plugins / themes that uses the function.

In my latest patch, 12960.3.diff, I introduced a new parameter $include_unpublished which if set to true would add the SQL that will include pending, future, and draft posts.
