 * Hello! 
   New to wordpress so perhaps I’m simply doing this incorrectly, but I 
   can’t seem to be able to hide password protected posts from showing up in this
   simple loop query. I have a page called “Blog” where I simply want to list all
   public posts. This is a public page and I’d like to restrict the posts that show
   up here. As you can see it lists the protected post I have as a test. It doesn’t
   show the excerpt which is nice but I’d like to hide it completely. I can do this
   with a simple filter and adding it to a private category but I’d like a cleaner
   way of doing it. I am running the following:Theme: Lowfi (not custom)Template:
   Pages template from Lowfi (not custom)PPWP version: 1.9.6 WordPress version: 
   6.7.1I have “Protected Content Visibility” set to everything it can be for pages
   and posts
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhiding-protected-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@simontravelog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simontravelog/) ,
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
 * Are you looking for a way to allow only authorized users to view the protected
   post when they visit your “blog” page?
 * We tried accessing your blog page to take a look, but it showed “Page Not Found.”
   Could you please double-check and confirm?
 * Awaiting your reply.
