 * Ok. This is driving me nuts, Ive got this query:
 *     ```
       <?php $query = new WP_Query('post_type=page&name=connect&post_status=private'); ?>
       <?php while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
   
       // Stuff
   
       <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
       ```
   
 * NOTHING I do will allow those pages to actually be displayed, so I’ve had to 
   simply eliminate the post_status call and make those pages public. This is not
   ideal, because it’s a one-page website with many WP_Queries and I don’t want 
   those individual pages to be accessible via permalink. HELP PLEASE!
