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:
- Works with posts, pages, and custom post types
- Four visibility options: Visible, Archive only, Search only, Hidden
- Compatible with both Classic Editor and Block Editor (Gutenberg)
- Hidden content remains accessible via direct URL
- Automatically excludes WooCommerce products (they have their own visibility)
- Lightweight and follows WordPress coding standards
- Translation ready
Visibility Options:
- Visible – Content appears in archives and search results (default)
- Archive only – Content appears in archives but not in search results
- Search only – Content appears in search results but not in archives
- Hidden – Content is hidden from archives and search, accessible only via direct link
Use Cases:

常見問題集
-
Where do I find the visibility options?

In the Block Editor (Gutenberg): Edit your post, then click on the “Status” in the right sidebar to open the Status & Visibility popup. The Visibility Control options appear there with four radio buttons.

-
Does this work with custom post types?

Yes, the plugin automatically supports all public custom post types that use the editor.
-
Yes, hidden content is only removed from archives and search results. Anyone with the direct URL can still access the content.
-
Does this work with WooCommerce products?

WooCommerce products are excluded because they have their own built-in visibility feature.
-
Is the plugin compatible with caching plugins?

Hidden or excluded content can still be indexed by search engines if accessible via direct URL. Consider using noindex if you want to prevent indexing.
