Comment:

 Thanks for the report, @shlomitur. As you've observed, contributors cannot
 edit their own published posts as they are not granted the
 `edit_published_pages` capability. The problem you're seeing must be local
 to your particular installation of WordPress.

 I would recommend deactivating the plugins on your site one by one to see
 if one of them is overriding that capability. Also note that it is
 possible that a plugin granted that capability to an individual user with
 the Contributor role, or granted that capability to the Contributor role
 directly, in which case that capability might still be attached as they
 get stored persistently in the database.

 Failing that, you can install a role and capability management plugin such
 as [https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/ Members] which will allow you
 to fix the capability.
