Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Hi there, thanks for the ticket!

 This appears to be similar to (or perhaps a duplicate of) #57147.

 As noted in comment:10:ticket:44591, these capabilities check for a
 particular post and do require a post ID:

 * `current_user_can( 'delete_post', $post_id )`
 * `current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id )`
 * `current_user_can( 'read_post', $post_id )`
 * `current_user_can( 'publish_post', $post_id )`

 [53408] / #44591 aimed to address this in a consistent way. Performing
 these checks without passing in a post ID is not supported and could only
 work by accident. See the discussion in #56962 for more details.

 Replying to [comment:1 nbmp1980]:

 This code should still be fine, as long as `$post_id` is set up correctly
 and points to an existing post ID.

 > WordPress have now changed edit_post to edit_posts:
 >
 > current_user_can( 'edit_posts', $post_id )

 With the `edit_posts` capability, `$post_id` is not required, just
 `current_user_can( 'edit_posts' )` is enough.
