LH Restricted Post Status

This plugin creates an additional post status ‘restricted’. This status functions similarly to setting a post, page, or cpt to private. However with this plugin you can specify which roles have access to restricted posts

This is required because natively WordPress follows a publishing/editorial paradigm and therefore the ‘read_private_posts’ capability is only granted to admins and editors.

1. Upload the entire lh-restricted-post-status folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3. Navigate to Settings->Restricted Post Status and set the roles that can access restricted posts.
