Be aware that the transition_post_status hook is not fired when post unpublishes

i found out the hard way that this plugin doesn’t use a wordpress function to update the post status, but does it directly via the database. this way hooks like transition_post_status are not fired when a post gets unpublished.

so better don’t use this plugin if you use hooks like these!

i would suggest to change the plugin to update the post status with wp_update_post() so the usual hooks and actions get fired as expected.
