    Hello,

    I’m using the PublishPress Permissions / PublishPress Capabilities plugin.

    My Author users have the edit_published_posts permission enabled, but the publish_posts permission is disabled. However, I do want them to be able to UNPUBLISH their posts.

    However, one of my Author users just let me know that there seems to be a bug where he is given the option to set his already published post to Draft inside the post editor, but that when he clicks Update, it reverts back to Published status.

    I tested it myself and I am also having the same problem when logged in as an Author. When I’m logged in as Admin, I can set an already published post to Draft successfully.

    I read in this document:

    * Feature : Work around WordPress issue allowing users with edit_published_posts (but not publish_posts) to unpublish published posts

    So that is what I need, but I’m not sure what I need to do inside PublishPress Permissions in order for this to start working on my site.

    Thank you for your assistance!

    Amy
