    Hi!

    Thank you so much for adding back the work-around for the current WP bug on the edit_published_posts when post status is “Published”. I really really appreciate it b/c an important project I’m working on won’t work or move forward without that fix. So thank you! In the meantime, looks like WP may be releasing the patch in 5.4 (hoping).

    That said, I can’t tell, but I think the work-around for this in PublishPress Capabilities v1.9 (latest as of today) may have implemented a new issue where an Author can’t unpublish a post, or set the post from Publish to Draft status.

    I may be mistaken, but wanted to bring it to your attention to double-check and maybe you can let me know if that’s the case or if it’s something else.

    Thanks so much again. Huge appreciation.

    Amy

    @amyaturnerwp Thanks for mentioning the importance of this workaround to your project.

    I did just confirm that a user with default Author capabilities can switch their own posts from published back to draft. On my 5.3.2 test site, this works in Gutenberg, Classic Editor and Quick Edit. Is your Author role possibly modified to remove the publish_posts capability? The current implementation of the workaround adjusts capability enforcement as follows :

    • Users with the edit_published_posts capability can edit published posts, even without the publish_posts capability.
    • Users lacking the publish_posts capability cannot unpublish posts either.

    Is your issue that you want the edit_published_posts capability to also allow unpublishing?
