[SOLVED] How to restrict view access of unpublished pages for non-superusers?

[PWaddict]

PW by default allows non-superusers to view unpublished pages on frontend. Is there an option somewhere to prevent that?

I never knew that, I wonder why guests have permissions to view unpublished pages? 

Anyway, I guess put this at the very top of your template file:

if($page->isUnpublished() && !$user->isSuperuser()) throw new Wire404Exception();

Guests can't view them. I was talking about the site editors (non-superusers).

I've already tried that but something isn't right. The site editor can see a 404 page (which is what I want) but lot of pw related content is hidden like titles, other fields content etc.

I've also tried this but isn't working. I'm getting a blank white page.

if($page->isUnpublished() && !$user->isSuperuser()) {
  $error404 = $pages->get("template=404, include=hidden");
  $session->redirect($error404->url, false);
}

I had to create an alternate template for 404 page and now it works:

if($page->isUnpublished() && !$user->isSuperuser()) {
  $error404 = $pages->get("template=404-alt, include=hidden");
  $session->redirect($error404->url, false);
}

If you know a better way let me know. Thanks.

No need for alt 404 template.

if($page->isUnpublished() && !$user->isSuperuser()) {
  $error404 = $pages->get(27); // ID of 404 page
  $session->redirect($error404->url, false); // 302 temporary redirect
}
