 * Hi there
 * When I mark a post as “Private” and select only “Private” posts in your widget,
   they still show up on the front end when users are not logged in.
 * You can then hit the link, but get a page not found error.
 * Cheers

 * I have fixed this in your functions.php
 * around line 295, add new line commented //ian:
 *     ```
       // Perform the query.
            $query ['perm'] = 'readable';      //ian
       	$posts = new WP_Query( $query );
   
       	return $posts;
       ```
