I tested a bit and I got some strange behavior.
The set up is as follows: Outer article uses the {article}{/article} tag to embed the inner article.
Both articles have Access=Public, with the outer is Status=Published, the inner is Status=Unpublished.
Outer Article:
Status: Published
Access: Public
Inner Article:
ID: 56
Status: Unpublished
Access: Public
The Plugin is configured as:
Ignore Access Level: No
Ignore Publish Level: No
(1) The first I did was using the following article inclusion within the outer article:
{article id="56"}[article]{/article}
Expected: Article blog displayed, article-56 not displayed
Outcome: Error Message: The requested page can't be found.
(2) I added the following tag into the {article} block
{article id="56" ignore-state="true"}[article]{/article}
Expected: Article blog displayed, article-56 not displayed
Outcome: Error Message: The requested page can't be found.
(3) I added the following tag into the {article} block
{article id="56" ignore-access="true"}[article]{/article}
Expected: Article blog displayed, article-56 not displayed
Outcome: Article blog displayed, article-56 not displayed
Now looking at 2 and 3 I experimented for by temporarily changing the article access
of the inner document to "Special" and for both (2), and (3), the outcome was the same.
When I turned the settings in the Plugin from No to Yes, all tests 1-3 returned the error message,
regardless if I added the "ignore-..." tag or not.
So for now I will not link articles that are not published and accessible to prevent
blog menus from not working but there is definitively something wrong.
