posts and pages.

## FAQ

  Why allow lower level users to view private posts and pages?

This won’t fit everyone’s situation, but sometimes you want visitors to be authenticated
in order to read material. This will allow you to
 define who can view these posts.

  Does privatePlus work with Private Pages as well as Private Posts?

This plugin does handle private pages, users of the appropriate level
 will be able
to view pages that are marked as private. You may need to adjust the code in your
template for your page navigation.

  What versions of WordPress is privatePlus compatible with?

privatePlus has been tested with version 2.3 and 2.5 of WordPress. It
 may work 
with other versions, but I have not tested them in those systems.
