Potentially great!
I 100% agree with the previous reviewer below. 3 stars for a potentially great plugin. For 5 stars please add: Options to be selected in Quick Edit mode and also add a section under Settings where it
Works, But is Hit or Miss
This plugin definitely works, but I find that it’s hit or miss. Using it with WordPress products, some products still show in search results even with the boxes ticked while others don’t. Not sure why
Its good but hoping it could be better!
Happy to adjust my rating if I’m wrong but currently it appears you need to enter Edit to apply any changes. I have the need to hide hundreds of pages in a very large website and it would be so handy
