 current_user_can( 'read_post' ) is not working in our case.

 current 6.0.3 sites (https://upstatetoday.com for instance) feature the
 following in out single.php:

         if (

                  current_user_can( 'read_post' )

 ... Allow access...

 This exists so that logged in WP users in WP backend can see the actual
 content, no our paywall)

 In WP 6.1  current_user_can( 'read_post'  ) does not appear to work;
 logged in WP admins, etc are given the paywall.

 rolling back to 6.0.3 fixes this.
