Comment (by abcd95):
== Reproduction Report
=== Description
This report validates whether the issue can be reproduced.
=== Environment
- WordPress: 7.1-alpha-62161-src
- PHP: 8.3.31
- Server: nginx/1.31.0
- Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.9 / Client: mysqlnd 8.3.31)
- Browser: Chrome 148.0.0.0
- OS: macOS
- Theme: Twenty Twenty-Five 1.5
- Plugins:
* Test Reports 1.2.0
* classic-editor.php
=== Actual Results
1. ❌ Error condition does not occur (not reproduced). Setting a post to
private visibility and clicking update successfully saves and retains the
private status.
=== Additional Notes
- Analysis of the core post-save flow inside `_wp_translate_postdata()`
(located in `src/wp-admin/includes/post.php`) shows that the post status
is guarded against override when updating.
@drusso1 Perhaps, if possible, could you send a screencast of what you
see?
