Hi @fetard thank for this ticket,

In 44069.1.diff:

  • Added private posts to wp_link_query() query

I'm not sure this is relevant, so if this is too specific for the general use case and closed as wontfix by the core team, @fetard I guess you can use wp_link_query_args filter to add private posts in your specific project :)

Cheers,
Jb

@fetard If I have not understood wrong, by saying "search result" you meant the inline search which lists you list of available pages when typing in a keyword for adding a link.

To my understanding (may be wrong), if you are marking a post Private, the post can no way be displayed or even no link to it should be displayed by other posts to anonymous (not yet logged in). Since, you are not supposed to link a Private post directly from any other post, the private page link is not showing up.

Because if this new page is Published with Public visibility, the link will also be visible inside it. If a visitor clicks on it, he will land on a page saying something like Oops! That page can’t be found (message in twentyseventeen theme)

Now if you Publish your Private page and then try to link this from another page, it will be included and appear in search (list of available that could be linked).

I believe the filtration is intentional since Private pages are always meant to be protected from anonymous users.

The suggested patch brings up a private page in the list, but I don't think we really require this.

Wouldn't it be useful to also check user capabilities? Like read_private_posts capability.

Replying to nicomollet:

I think @subrataemfluence is right, this limit prevents user to insert in a public article towards a private content
