TechDex Hide From Search gives content editors a straightforward way to hide a page from WordPress search or hide a post from WordPress search using a simple editor toggle.
When enabled, the selected post or page stays published and accessible by direct URL, but it will be excluded from the site’s normal front-end WordPress search results.
If you need a fuller hidden workflow, the plugin also includes optional feed and navigation exclusions that can be enabled globally in the Dashboard and on individual items.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Block editor sidebar toggle</li>
<li>Native editor meta box fallback if the JavaScript panel is blocked</li>
<li>Optional feed and navigation exclusions, both global and per item</li>
<li>About-style dashboard with a separate Manage screen</li>
<li>Works with public post types</li>
<li>Keeps hidden content accessible by direct link</li>
</ul>
This plugin is a good fit when you need to:
<ul>
<li>Hide a page from WordPress search without unpublishing it</li>
<li>Hide a post from WordPress search while keeping the URL live</li>
<li>Keep thank-you pages, reports, resource pages, or gated content out of search</li>
<li>Optionally exclude hidden content from feeds or navigation when a deeper hidden workflow is needed</li>
