Post Visibility Control adds visibility options to posts, pages, and custom post types. Control exactly where your content appears without making it private.
The plugin integrates seamlessly into the native WordPress interface. In the Block Editor (Gutenberg), you will find the options inside the Status & Visibility popup when you click on the post status. In the Classic Editor, the options appear within the Visibility section of the Publish metabox, right where you would expect them.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Works with posts, pages, and custom post types</li>
<li>Four visibility options: Visible, Archive only, Search only, Hidden</li>
<li>Compatible with both Classic Editor and Block Editor (Gutenberg)</li>
<li>Hidden content remains accessible via direct URL</li>
<li>Automatically excludes WooCommerce products (they have their own visibility)</li>
<li>Lightweight and follows WordPress coding standards</li>
<li>Translation ready</li>
</ul>
Visibility Options:
<ul>
<li>Visible – Content appears in archives and search results (default)</li>
<li>Archive only – Content appears in archives but not in search results</li>
<li>Search only – Content appears in search results but not in archives</li>
<li>Hidden – Content is hidden from archives and search, accessible only via direct link</li>
</ul>
Use Cases:
<ul>
<li>Hide landing pages from blog archives</li>
<li>Exclude specific posts from search results</li>
<li>Create content accessible only via direct links</li>
