    Updating to version 14.9 of Yoast breaks my Custom Post Types and makes me not able to edit any content, I just receive a You need a higher level of permission, Sorry, you are not allowed to edit posts in this post type. error when trying to edit the CPT inside the admin. This affects my CPTs that have the following setting in the post type declaration array ‘capability_type’ => ‘customname’ any CPT where that is set gives me the permissions error with 14.9 and NOT 14.8.1

    Hi @nickfmc,

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we’re sorry to hear there’s a problem after updating.

    Just to make sure that this is a bug and not due to other factors, we’d like you to do the following:

    1. Make sure that all your plugins and themes are updated.

    2. Check for conflicts by deactivating all other non-Yoast plugins and switching to a default theme like Twenty Nineteen.

    If you still find the problem is happening or if there is a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub bug report for our developers. Please report the issue to any third-party developer as well.

    You will need an account to create a new issue. If this is your first bug report, please check out: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-write-a-good-bug-report/.

    1. Did that
    2. Of course switching themes would “solve” the issue, as the issue is caused by CPT declaration inside of my theme!!! all other plugins can be removed and you still see the issue.

    We are not aware of such an issue yet with Yoast SEO v14.9. However, if the issue doesn’t occur when using Yoast SEO v14.8.1, there’s something that might have changed then.

    Therefore, we recommend you please submit a bug report directly at our GitHub development repository with the example code so our development team can look into this further for you.
