 Hello there !

 After updating the post ID, via an update_option(), or directly in the
 wp_options field, the select stays empty. Here is the way id do it in my
 plugin (assuming the post with this slug exist) :

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 //set the regular policy page in wp-admin privacy.php

 function register_policy_post() {
     $post = get_page_by_path('politique-de-confidentialite', OBJECT,
 'page-systeme');
     if ( $post ) {
         update_option( 'wp_page_for_privacy_policy', $post->ID );
     }
 }
 }}}

 Only the choice made in wp-admin/privacy.php is displayed, even if the
 post selected is a regular page. I guess a patch would be not to loop for
 populating the dropdown through all existing posts, but at least display
 the one registered in the option field in database.

 Best regards.
