by private, do you mean you set the post status to private? not sure how you show those, as they’re private 😉
what you can do though is publish a post as normal, with published as the post status, but add a password. This way the post title will show up wherever you show recent posts, but you will have to put in a password to read it. so in effect its private.

Well what I’m trying to so is have a “member’s section” more or less. I was going to have each post in that section be set private to the author “member” and then have each user login as that user to see that content. I also hacked apart the admin stuff so that “member” get forwarded back to the homepage.
Then to make a page a members only page, I just post it while logged into the admin account but make the owner “member” and make it private.
Does that make sense?
Maybe there’s a better way to go about this…
Could I possibly set it up so that the posts are password protected, but you only have to enter it once to read all protected posts?
I believe that that is what happens. Once the person enters the password for one protected post, all the posts using that password show up. Not certain, but I think I’ve seen this occur.
