    I’d like to enable the option to include restricted posts in queries but I would like clarification about what this warning means in the settings: “This can potentially improve performance for very large websites but with a security risk.” What is the security risk?

    Hello @marksa,

    With that option enabled restricted posts will not be removed from WordPress queries. So the security risk is that the post content of your restricted posts might be leaked through them being displayed on archive pages or search.
