Private post's class (of content) on frontend archive

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I can't see any css class (related to private posts) to use and I don't know how to set it up (add a class) conditionally in WordPress Archive Template loop.

Solution:

In WordPress Archive loops, you can get post status value with shortcode [wpv-post-status], and use it in [wpv-conditional] shortcode, display different results like this:

Tell us what you are trying to do?

Hello,
I need to visually mark private posts on WordPress taxonomy archives for admin (and editor) on frontend .... so then they can easily see (by border-color or by background-color) which posts have private content status.

The problem is that I can't see any css class (related to private posts) to use and I don't know how to set it up (add a class) conditionally in WordPress Archive Template loop.

I am not using Blocks but Views (and Layouts).

Many thanks, best,
Jiri.

Hello,

With WordPress Archive loops, you can get post status value with shortcode [wpv-post-status], and use it in [wpv-conditional] shortcode, display different results like this:

[wpv-conditional if="  ( ( '[wpv-post-status]' eq 'private' ) ) " ]
<p>This is private post</p>
[/wpv-conditional]

OK, thanks, I was expecting some IF (and then ELSE) solution but I made it like

[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( '[wpv-post-status]' eq 'publish' ) ) " ]
<p>Public content</p>
[/wpv-conditional]

[wpv-conditional if=" ( ( '[wpv-post-status]' eq 'private' ) ) " ]
<p>Private content</p>
[/wpv-conditional]

Thanks again!
