GWG I need help with a low level WordPress problem. I'm at a loss of who to bounce ideas regarding user access control for posts of private visibility(as defined by WordPress) that extends it beyond just admins/editors.

GWG I need a design that if the plugin is disabled it just reverts to only visible by admins... namely default behavior
#
GWG [tw2113]: Any ideas?

#
[tw2113] So if the plugin is active, private posts of some sort are made publicly readable to everyone, and once it gets deactivated, they revert back to private and only available to admins/editors?
#
GWG [tw2113]: No, if the plugin is activated they are only readable by one or more users and which might vary by post
#
GWG Think use case... I'm writing a personal post, and I only want it to appear in the feed of authenticated users.
#
[tw2113] hmm
#
[tw2113] I’m assuming higher than just password protected content
#
[tw2113] the feed detail is an interesting detail
#
[tw2113] i know patreon has private feeds, and i’ve always been passively curious how they did those
#
GWG [tw2113]: The authentication would be an IndieAuth token
#
GWG I think it might need a custom SQL query
#
[tw2113] and should i assume not just RSS based, just me visiting the site and authenticating somehow with the token
