Hidden Posts
Back are the hidden posts and post levels. I’m aggressively pursuing the post level code as my own these days, doing my best to wrap my head around what the author did when writing this plugin, and more importantly, preparing myself to take over it’s continued development (since the original author has apparently stopped work on it.)
But what to hidden posts mean? It means that if you subscribe via RSS or don’t log in, you won’t see the hidden posts. And if you do log in, you’ll only see the posts you have access to.
Don’t worry, if you’re a friend and you’ve already registered, your account has access to the hidden posts. If you’re not registered, you should consider registering. If you’ve already registered, but need to know how to reset your password:

Next I’m planning on moving to 2.7 and seeing how all of my plugins interact.

Found and fixed the bug… wheee. Search for the word Carmel. You’ll find posts.
Granted, the “fix” actually breaks part of the (I think) intended behavior of Wordpress… which is to say, it permits users to look up private posts by other users– provided that their user level is greater than the post level associated with the post.
It turns out that hidden posts are hidden in search results regardless of your user level. For instance, if you are a level 1 user, you can see all level 0 and level 1 posts. If a post with the title “PostLevelZero” is posted, you can look it up via catagory or by post month or by stub (the direct link to the post)… but if you try to search for the term “PostLevel” it won’t appear in the search results.
New posts are still accessible from the main page (since there is no search filter).
