 * I’m trying to find a way to list all the “Private” posts in my blog, I cannot
   find a way to only list them, even if I type “Private” into the search for posts,
   it doesn’t find them. I currently have to manually work my way though ALL posts(
   page by page).
 * Does anyone know of a way to only list the “Private” Posts?

 * Just did a pretty comprehensive search to find an answer. Didn’t come up with
   anything.
 * I’ve never hard of anyone doing that before, so my confident guess is that no,
   this isn’t built into WP at the moment.
 * But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. 🙂
 * I’m sure a pugin or hack could be created to pull all the posts from the database
   that have a ‘post_status’ value of ‘private’, and spit them out onto a page, 
   just not by me.

 * Hello… I have a plugin called “PrivatePost” which adds a page to the “Manage”
   section which will show you all your private posts.
 * You can find it here:

 * Thanks (blackc2004) that worked perfectly! It’s a shame WordPress doesen’t have
   more filtering controls built in to the (manage) section. The entries list can
   only grow larger and larger and I can imagine that (management) difficulity increases
   with it.
 * Thanks again.

 * Yes it is a shame… I’ve been with wordpress since the early days of B2 and was
   pushing the Developer back then for this stuff.
 * I finially got fed up with it recently and created the plugin! Glad it works 
   for you, let me know if you see anything that could be improved!
 * Thanks,
