    Is setting “Public” to false the right way?

    Looks like Public/Publicly Queryable would be the closest you can get easily with just CPTUI alone. You’d want to set them to false.

    If you’re willing to dive into code, you could do an is_archive() check for the specific taxonomy, on say the template_redirect action hook. That’d prevent users from being able to reach them.

    If this is mostly an SEO thing, and the above doesn’t quite work, I am sure there are tools out there that could set things like noindex/nofollow/etc for those archives.

    Hi setting “public” as false redirects the taxonomy archive to the homepage which is perfect. That’s all i needed.

    I was scared it would also change something else but it seems to do only that. The taxonomy exists and works fine so all good.
