Selective Reading

Allows website visitors to deselect categories they don't want to see on your blog.

Andy Feliciotti

This plugin adds a “Unlisted?” checkbox in the “Publish” box while using the classic editor and Gutenberg. When this is checked the post will be excluded from most areas of your website by filtering pre_get_posts filter. This means posts will be excluded from RSS feeds, blog pages, widgets, category pages, archive pages, and more. Additionally it adds a noindex tag to the unlisted page to prevent Google from indexing the page. This is useful if you want to publish some information on your site and allows others to view it via the link without fully publishing.
