PLANET-5726 Hide password protected content on post listing & search page

[sagarsdeshmukh]

JIRA 5726

Task -

• Hide password protected content from post listing pages like taxonomy, author, p4 post type pages etc
• Hide password protected content from search result page

Blocker -

• The elasticPress plugin won’t provide option/support to hide password protected content from search result(quite surprising)

I found some discussion and open PR which offer the solution , but it will take time to get approval and merging -

• Exclude password protected posts from search 10up/ElasticPress#1789
• Update: Exclude password protected posts from search 10up/ElasticPress#1913

Till the time we could consider some temporary solution-

• We already have a meta field check which skip the posts from search result ( p4_do_not_index meta field)

Any suggestions or if I miss something

The solution suggested by @Inwerpsel works like a charm. Thanks 🚀

We don't need the additional query, which could affect performance, but can directly add post_password = false to the arguments.

Yes, make sense. 💯 I updated the PR, please have a look.
