Last 2 updates block WP preview functionality?

Hi,

I’ve noticed that last two updates blocked previewing WP content as admin.

If newsletter plugin is active, I’m getting:
“This content is protected, only newsletter subscribers can access it. Subscribe now!”

While protecting preview for users is OK, as an Admin I should be able to see my future posts.

This should be fixed as soon as possible.

OK, I think I’ve figured out what’s going on, but I still think it’s not correct behavior.

I had to “sign up” with my admin e-mail to the list of subscribers in order to see all the pages.

Weird / interesting thing, I’ve created a new admin with different e-mail address, that is not on the list of subscribers, logged in as it and I was able to see previewed posts. (I assume it somehow connects role + existence of it in the db?).

Something fishy there, anyways.

Actually this is the standard behavior, but you’re right, editors and administrators should not be blocked, it has no reason to be. I’ll release a fix for that.

Thanks Stefano!

Also, I’m not sure exactly how and when credentials are loaded. I was testing this on one machine at work, and once I’ve registered as subscriber with my admin e-mail, it looked OK, but then when I added a new draft back home it was again not working. I’ve turned protected content off at the moment (since I’m just testing it and preparing it so I don’t need it right now).

Anyways, looking forward to see the fix soon. 🙂
