LH Archived Post Status

Do exactly what I want this plugin to do : archiving posts but the posts are still accessible, and the links still active.

It’s unfortuate. This plugin would have been perfect to address a specific need to archive posts, but it doesn’t integrate with the other “latests posts” features I’m already using. I was hoping this would address the limitations in those “features” as well. 🙁

Not ready for prime time. There are some minor issues, but the big one is that it’s very finicky about what theme it works with. I used one of the top 10% themes on wordpress.org, and the plugin still had archived posts on the front page. Wish it worked.

I can give it a recommendation

I rarely leave any reviews anywhere, but felt obligated to actually register here to leave my review for this plugin – especially since there’s, in my experience, unnecessary negative reviews. I haven’t had single issue with this plugin and I’ve been using it already years.

It gives highly needed option to remove the posts from the main loops (from category listings, posts feeds etc) but still keep the pages indexed. From SEO perspective this can sometimes be essential feature since your old posts might not be relevant anymore and you don’t want to push your “juice” (nor the actual users) to these articles, but deleting bunch of content might affect your SEO efforts negatively. Some might argue that in these cases you should just delete the posts which are not relevant anymore, but it’s not always that simple and you never know what Google might consider as relevant or helfpul.

Without this plugin there’s zero options to handle these cases so much thanks to the author!

P.S. One additional feature request would be to have an option to hide these from admin side as well
