Save and Publish buttons ignore custom post statuses, so posts go live unexpectedly or stay hidden after editing.

What's going wrong
Site owners using this plugin with the block or classic editor report that the Save and Publish buttons do not respect custom statuses. Clicking Save can push a post to Published and notify subscribers, while Publish sometimes leaves the post in its old status even though WordPress reports success. Editors who set a status such as pending review or end of life end up with posts that go live unexpectedly or stay invisible. Several owners, including teams with dozens of writers, rolled back versions or disabled notifications to cope. A fix could be a clearer publishing workflow that keeps the chosen status on every save.
