OK, what happens is if you make your blog page private, you can still get to it if not logged in, it just doesn’t appear in the menu. If you set individual blog posts to private, then you get the 404 if not logged in.

So now I think we can get somewhere… 🙂

For hidden pages, the most common way to do that is to use the Exclude Pages plugin, which basically just takes the page out of the menu, since all pages are added to the menu by default.

A private (visibility set to private) page or post should not be viewable if a user is not logged in. You should get a 404.

Content Visibility

I’ll get to the rest of your question in a bit, need some coffee. But for starters, how do you have your site setup, specifically

Settings->Reading

The first setting:

Front page displays

can be set to Your latest posts or A static page (select below)

I’ve created a blank page titled “blog” and set the above to A static page and chose “blog.”

Are you doing something similar to that?

Awesome, you’re quite welcome!

Private is different from hidden. Private posts/pages are only visible to admins and editors. The code I posted strictly deals with “hidden” pages (not private and not for posts). A normal reader would never see a private page. That said, is that still something you need?

Yes, I could certainly make a configurable option (basically an arrays of IDs to ignore).

I took your request literally, and set it up for pages, as you can use the Excluded Pages plugin to “hide” a page from the menu. Posts don’t have that option, at least not with that plugin. How are you hiding posts? (or are you using private?)

This could be caused by a MySQL binary upgrade on the server (without a dump and reload of the tables) or corrupted tables.

Maybe someone who’s had this problem before can chime in, but basically the messages are telling you what you need to do. Run:

REPAIR TABLE wp_terms

at a MySQL command line or via phpMyAdmin (or equivalent), obviously for every table listed. Be sure and do a database backup first.

Since you’re in The Loop, you could use something like this:

<?php
    if ( strlen( get_the_content() ) )
        echo '<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">';

    the_title();

    if ( strlen( get_the_content() ) )
        echo '</a>';
?>

Did your partner forget to pay the domain name fee or hosting fee? In either case, you should probably contact your host, especially if it was the later.
