WP_Comment_Query() displays “password protected” comments?

by

It’s not a bug (gasp!) really just not provided for. You have to add a filter to do this, eg

add_filter( 'comments_clauses', function ( $pieces, $query ) {
    if ( empty( $query->query_vars['wpse_no_password'] ) ) return $pieces;
    global $wpdb;
    $pieces[ 'where' ] .= $wpdb->prepare( ' AND ' . $wpdb->posts . '.post_password = %s', '' );
    return $pieces;
}, 10, 2 );

$args = array( 'post_status' => 'publish', 'wpse_no_password' => 1 );
$query = new WP_Comment_Query( $args );
