+Don't worry, your content is not __gone__ it's just __inaccessible__. Unfortunately, using a custom post status like `archive` is only going to work while the plugin is active.

+If you have archived content and deativate or delete this plugin, that content will disappear from __view__. You're content is in the database - WordPress just no longer recognizes the `post_status` because this plugin is not there to set this post status up.
