Overview
Unlisted means your post/page will not come up in search results or on anywhere else on your site. Only those who have the link of the post can view it just like any normal post on the site.
The Post could still be seen by anyone, but only if they guess the link!
The plugin updates MySQL query directly in WP_Query class of WordPress to leave out the posts which are unlisted by the user. As this modifies the core WP_Query, this also works very well with all the plugins which pull out posts/pages from database by using WP_Query, For eg. Posts slider plugins, Advanced Posts in Ultimate Addon for Beaver Builder etc.

Great plugin but not maintained and hides pages in the admin panel
by Manni02·3 months ago·1 reply
First of all, thanks for a great plugin! I’ve been using it for a long time and it works very well overall.
However, I have two problems with it:
- It has not been updated in a long time, not tested in the last three major versions, which means that Wordfence is soon going to flag it as an abandonned plug in. Please could you update the plugin so that we can keep using it?
- I use the plugin to hide some Learndash groups so that they are not visible in the front end (for example, in the Members’ Area of a membership website). While this works very well, it also prevents from listing the unlisted groups in the backend as well. For example, we can’t assign an unlisted group to a user when editing te WP user account. Please could you add an option to never unlist the pages/posts in the backend (admin panel), or to only unlist in the front end?
Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Useful BUT not for a lot of posts
by djkano·7 months ago
If you want to unlist lots of very old posts you have to edit every article one by one. There’s no a Bulk action in the posts lists to select various posts at once and mark them as unlisted. So if you have tens or hundreds of posts, it makes your life miserable. The action in Bulk checkboxes, could solve this.
