## Description

This plugin will hide private posts and password protected posts in front end. In
back end, admin / editor can still edit the post, also if a user know the url of

private posts and password protected posts, they can open the posts too, of course,
because these URLs is not listed in front end, so in general, nobody know these 
private posts and password protected posts, unless you sent URLs to your friends.

Also support custom the wordpress default words of private post to your own words.
You will find the “Private Post” menu in wordpress admin area, in “Private Post 
Settings” panel, you can change default words in ” Replace default words of private
post” option panel.

Why I develop this plugin:
 On my site, I offten publish new version of my plugins,
it means I need add new features in my plugin posts, before I change my posts, I’d
like write a backup posts first, and for avoid users / google read these duplicate
posts, I add them as private posts, but I found these private posts is showing my
theme’s homepage, so I dig the wordpress wp_posts table and develop this plugin 
hide any private posts and password protected posts in front end, it works well.
