How the Plugin Works [A Brief Guide]

Quick, four-step workflow to hide posts, pages, media, and WooCommerce products from lists while keeping direct links live.

  1. Select Post Types — Pick which content types get visibility controls (Posts, Pages, Media, Products, custom post types). This lets you hide custom post types and hide WooCommerce products when needed.
  2. Edit Content — Open the item and use the Post Visibility metabox. From here, you can toggle visibility options without deleting the content.
  3. Choose Locations — Check where to hide it: Front Page / Blog Page, Category, Tag, Author, Date Archives, Search Results, RSS Feed, Widgets (e.g., Recent Posts), REST API, or Single Page. Use combinations like hide posts from homepage and hide posts from search results as required.
  4. Save & Done — Update the item. The URL stays live for direct access, but the item will be hidden from the selected listings (shop, archives, widgets, REST API, etc.).

Pro tip: Upgrade for Quick Edit and Bulk Edit [Pro], Hide Everywhere [Pro], or 404 Redirect [Pro] to manage visibility at scale.
