re: Unfortunately the entry has gone into the Awaiting Moderation queue (good!) but with a status of public (bad!) and is not showing in the Members Directory (confusing!).
Why’s that bad??? It will not show in the directory until, you as the admin, approve the submitted entry. When you approve it, it will already have the visibility status of public so it’ll automatically list in the directory.
A couple years ago submitted entries did default to unlisted but that lead to numerous, and I mean a lot, of support requests asking why they had to change the visibility to public after approving the entry in order to have it display in the directory. Since I made the tweak to default to public, I do not think I’ve received a single email about it until now. The benefit for you, as an admin, makes the process quicker as you only have to approve the entry vs. having to approve it and then change the visibility status. Sorry, but I do not think I will be changing this behavior.
