Description
Pages which have been published and then set back to unpublished can still be viewed on the site by the author, while other users will see the 404 page.
- Publish a page
- Note the author and guests can see the page on the site.
- Change the status to unpublished.
- Note the author can still see the page on the site
- Note that a guest cannot see the page on the site and gets a 404.
Note: In some cases the guest may forego the 404 page and be sent to a wholly different post which has a similar permalink. (The 404 is still posted, the guest just never sees it.) I still haven't been able to reproduce this reliably though.

A post which has never been published is viewable as a preview to the author, but attempting to view that post via the slug will return a 404 error. If that post is published and then changed to unpublished, it will be viewable via the slug (by the author only). This inconsistency seems to be a bug.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
This is not a bug.
Authors can always see there own posts even if unpublished.
This is how preview mode works.
