WordPress Plugin
Hide a page or post from WordPress search without unpublishing it.
Have you ever wanted to make a page truly private, so that it is only available to people who have the direct link? TechDex Hide From Site Search does just that. It gives editors a simple way to hide pages, posts, and supported public content types from front-end WordPress search results while keeping those URLs live and accessible when shared directly. Optional feed and navigation exclusions can also be enabled globally or per item when a more complete hidden-content workflow is needed.
Dashboard
Manage Hidden Content
Review every hidden item in one place and restore visibility individually or in bulk from the plugin dashboard.
Safe Workflow
Keep URLs Live
Content stays published and reachable by direct link, which is ideal for thank-you pages, private resources, utility pages, and campaigns that should not appear in normal WordPress search results.
