How can I include private pages in a page list?

Question

I'm currently using wp_list_pages to show site pages.

It doesn't include private pages, so I need to find a way to produce a list of them too.

I can do it with a plugin, but it includes various options I don't need and I prefer to hardcode something appropriate into a template.

Not enough information provided, add your code that your using. — Malisa, Sep 13, 2016 at 8:09

You can just add a post_status argument:

wp_list_pages( array(
    'post_status' => array( 'publish', 'private' ),
));

This issue has been tracking since eight years ago, and it's not fixed yet (see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8592)

Maybe you should replace wp_list_pages() with get_pages() and some php to generate your list due get_pages() allows you to find private pages too (see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_pages)

Thanks. I'd tried the default example from that codex page, and was getting no info displayed.

And that's a normal behavior: array get_pages($args), it returns an Array of posts objects. You should iterate it with some foreach bucle and extract desired fields to compose your html

Thanks for the suggestion. Currently though, that's beyond my knowledge - but I'll add it to my list of things to learn.
