Omit password protected posts from a View

Sometimes, you need to exclude password-protected posts from a View’s output.

You can use Toolset to add the following code to your site.

The only edit required is for the ID(s) of the affected View(s).

<?php 
/**
 * User defined values: fill here the IDs of the Views that you want to affect with this snippet.
 * For a single View, use $target_views = array( XXX );
 * For multiple Views, use $target_views = array( XXX, YYY );
 * In this example, we target a View with ID equal to 204.

    $target_views = array( 204 );
