 * Hi all!
 * I’ve been working on this site where a photographer wants some of his pages password
   protected. plus, these posts must NOT show when i build a post list.
 * is there any way i can exclude password protected posts from get_posts() ?
 * thanks alot for your future input.

 * The User Access Manager plugin does that. There are also a couple of other, similar
   plugins.

 * thanks but I’d like it to be plugin independent. if I don’t find any other solution,
   I’ll look at it. I must add that this is a custom made theme and that my client
   is not tech savy.
 * up to now, I used these arguments with my get_posts() :
 * $args = array(
    ‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘posts_per_page’
   => $options[‘num_posts’], ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘
   post_password’ => ” );
 * I used << ‘post_password’ => ” >> hopping it would force WP to get only empty
   password posts, but it’s a no go. any ideas?
