 * Hi,
 * I had some trouble getting private pages to be listed. I mostly blame the poor
   wordpress documentation for the headache, but I eventually figured out that the
   right way to do this is pass one more argument ‘post_status’ to wp_list_pages.
   So I have added
 *  ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
 * to $defaults in your plugin. Then you have the power to monkey around with it,
   for example
 *  [child-pages post_status=”private,publish”]
 * will show you both public and private pages. Thanks for the nice plugin!
