 * Hi
 * When I try to delete one of the default statuses (e.g. Pitch), it says “Status
   successfully deleted”, but then when I go back to the edit statuses page, the
   deleted status re-appears in the list.
 * No matter how many times I try, I just can’t delete a status!
 * I’ve deactivated all other plugins and temporarily removed my functions.php file,
   so it doesn’t seem to be caused by a clash.
 * Cheers
    Simon

 * This is a great plugin but I also have the same issue with deleting the default
   statuses; will we have a fix soon?
 * Thank you.

 * I can now add and delete custom statuses, but you have to reload the page before
   any changes are shown.
