Comment:

 Hi all, I'm stumbling upon this issue today, after a few months of using
 WP, and I'm very surprised to see that this issue has been pending during
 8 years already...

 I guess there is a general consensus from many users about how this should
 be managed, ie that private and protected pages are visible in the
 "parent" dropdown, and that changing the privacy status of a page doesn't
 affect its hierarchical relationships.

 I tried the snippet provided in comment #188, and it seems to fix both
 aspects. Why wasn't it already integrated into the core ?

 // Add draft / aprentpending etc for pages in the drop down
 add_filter( 'page_attributes_dropdown_pages_args',
 'wps_dropdown_pages_args_add_parents' );
 add_filter( 'quick_edit_dropdown_pages_args',
 'wps_dropdown_pages_args_add_parents' );
 /**
  * Add private/draft/future/pending pages to parent dropdown.
  */
 function wps_dropdown_pages_args_add_parents( $dropdown_args, $post = NULL
 ) {
     $dropdown_args['post_status'] = array( 'publish', 'draft', 'pending',
 'future', 'private', );
     return $dropdown_args;
 }

 Regards,

 Pascal.

 BTW I cannot choose the latest (4.6) WP version in the drop down list
 here... it seems to stop at 2.7... I hope this forum is still active
 though !
