Do you need to disable specific posts in a WordPress admin post table? Use the following function to do so.

The Code

This is the code you need. Add it your functions.php:

function disable_posts_in_table($caps, $cap, $user_id, $args) {
    // If this condition is true, do nothing
    if ( $cap !== 'edit_post' && $cap !== 'delete_post' ) {
        return $caps;
    }

    // If this condition is true, disable the post
    if ( disabling_condition ) {
        $caps[] = 'do_not_allow';
    }

    return $caps;
}
add_filter( 'map_meta_cap', 'disable_posts_in_table', 10, 4 );

HOW TO USE

Replace the "disabling_condition" located in the function. If the condition is true, the post will be disabled inside the post table.
