Problems with private wedoc posts

Yeah, this is something that should be addressed, as there is no way to reach private docs parts.

The same thing has just happened to me.

I have spent a day creating a document but did not really want front-end users seeing it until it was complete – set it to Private – now it has disappeared??!? Vexing.

The issue mentioned here is valid. But this is how WordPress works. Every section and docs in weDocs has parent/child relationship and that’s how it maintains the relation when showing. Also, managing the relationship is done by WordPress.

So when you set a parent item in draft/pending mode, it can’t have any child element. So if you have a section in draft mode, it cannot have a child doc and you won’t see that in the sidebar (https://tareq.in/kKJPSw). When you update, it falls back to another parent and the result becomes unexpected. There’s not much I can do about it.

I hope the explanation makes sense.
