Unlist Posts & Pages

Description

Unlisted means your post/page will not come up in search results or on anywhere else on your site. Only those who have the link of the post can view it just like any normal post on the site.

The Post could still be seen by anyone, but only if they guess the link!

The plugin updates MySQL query directly in WP_Query class of WordPress to leave out the posts which are unlisted by the user. As this modifies the core WP_Query, this also works very well with all the plugins which pull out posts/pages from database by using WP_Query, For eg. Posts slider plugins, Advanced Posts in Ultimate Addon for Beaver Builder etc.

Try it out on a free dummy site

Limitations Of the Plugin

• WP_Query has an a flag to ‘Suppress’ the filters. If any plugin is using this flag when querying the posts then the unlisted post will not be hidden in that plugin’s output.
• Similarly if any plugin is using a custom MySQL query, then the unlisted posts will not be hidden from it’s output.

Installation

1. Go to the Plugins menu and click Add New.
2. Search for Unlist Posts.
3. Click Install Now next to the Unlist Posts plugin.
4. Activate the plugin.

Just select option “Unlist Post” in any post of any type and that post will be hidden from the whole site, it can be only accessed if you have the direct link to the post.

This does exactly what it says it does. Down at the bottom of the document settings there is a checkbox “Unlist this post?” Easy
