## Description

Publicly locked posts or pages functions exactly the same as published. EXCEPT only
user with manage_options capability (usually only admin users) can edit the post
or page.

Privately locked posts or pages functions exactly the same as private. EXCEPT only
user with manage_options capability (usually only admin users) can edit the post
or page.

In both cases only users with manage_options can assign a post or page to the above
statuses. As a webmaster this functionality may be useful if there are posts or 
pages you do not want editors or similar roles amending.

Installed and works great… Allows for me to make a portfolio post, publish it privately(
so doesn't show up on the portfolio page) and when I give out the private URL it's
also password protected. Perfect – thanks
