 * I’m trying to create a post type where the setting is set to private automatically.
   
   The goal is to have logged in users be able to view their only their own posts
   of this type. Can you suggest a method for this? Thanks

 * Honestly, I don’t know of any ready-made solutions for this one. Thinking through
   it, I could see something potentially being done with the publish_post action
   hook or similar but beyond that I’ve never seen any way to automatically have
   a post be private. It’s always been a case of a human setting that.
