PublishPress Revisions 4.3.3: Security fixes and revision queue reliability improvements
This post is about a release of the PublishPress Revisions plugin. This plugin allows you safely manage changes to published posts in WordPress. You can approve all changes to posts and even schedule them to go live on a specific day.
PublishPress Revisions 4.3.3 is a maintenance and security update focused on making revision workflows safer and more reliable. Most users will notice a more dependable Revision Queue, including fixes for cases where revisions could disappear or a published post could be mistaken for a revision.
Because this release includes security fixes, we recommend updating promptly, especially on sites where multiple people can submit, review, or restore revisions.

Security improvements
- Stronger access checks: The plugin now more carefully verifies who can view, change, restore, or delete revisions.
- Safer revision submissions: Additional protections help block unauthorized requests and malicious content in revision details.
- Protected author settings: Users who should not be able to change the author on a revision are now blocked from doing so.

- Yoast SEO compatibility: Archive, home page, date archive, and system page SEO data can now save correctly.
- Admin menu stability: The Tools > Scheduled Actions page from Action Scheduler is no longer removed across the WordPress admin area.
