Show private posts in Wordpress
This plugin allows link of private posts to be shown in archive and calendar without any configuration.
Have difficulty finding out your own private posts within Wordpress? They are only shown in administrative interface, and only during page-by-page browsing? This plugin would help. It displays links to these private posts within calendar, as well as within per-month archive list in sidebar.
For any normal website surfers, they won’t see any private post at all. This plugin is only effective if you have account in Wordpress site, and you have logged in — even after that, you will just see your own private posts, not those from other authors on the same site. That also means others won’t see your stuff; this plugin is purely for your convenience.
Installation
Note that this installation procedure is somewhat Unix centric right now. For Windows users, please modify wp-includes/general-template.php by hand for now according to what was done in patch file; I’ll be grateful if anybody provide me a good solution for applying patch on Windows.
- Decompress zip file.
- Apply the patch to wordpress source code using following command:
patch <wordpress_dir>/wp-includes/general-template.php -i calendar-sql-hook.patch<wordpress_dir> is the directory WordPress is installed.
- Copy
wp-show-priv-post.phptowp-content/plugins/folder. - Activate plugin in WordPress admin page. There is no need for further configuration.
Download
The plugin and patch can be downloaded through this link.
Notes
This plugin is released under BSD license.
If patch is not applied, the plugin still works partially; monthly archive still shows links to months containing private post. But behaviour of calendar would not change at all.
Request of adding plugin hook is done in Wordpress Trac. But from the milestone, the change would not be done until mid 2009.
