Cannot delete or delete posts

  • I too am having difficulty trashing private posts. It’s quite maddening.

    Found the problem. Private suite does its thing by hooking onto the save_post action, blindly sets the status to private for posts within the specified categories. wp_trash_post calls wp_insert_post which trips the save_post action, resulting in the posts status being changed back to private.

    Here’s the patch (line numbers may be off a bit, since I have local fixes for other foibles too):
