Comment (by afragen):

 @peterwilsoncc here's what I found out. My simple query,


 {{{
 $query             = new WP_Query(
         [
                 'post_type' => 'page',
                 'title'     => $the_headers_title,
         ]
 );

 }}}

 returns nothing when there is not logged in user. This is problematic as
 the plugin works on the frontend. This previously worked with
 `get_page_by_title()`.
