README
Excludes specific WordPress posts from archives (homepage, search, date/author/term archives).
Adds <meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />
meta to the head to
restrict inclusion in web searches.
Background
This plugin provides a way for content to live inside WordPress and still be accessible by a direct URL but appear hidden everywhere else. Useful for culling older content that shouldn't appear in search results because it is untimely.
Usage
By default, the plugin will prevent archiveless posts from appearing on the page. This is limited to the main query of the page. It will not affect other queries by default.
Archiveless posts can be excluded from normal queries by passing
exclude_archiveless
:
$query = new WP_Query( [ 'exclude_archiveless' => true, // ... ] ); // Via 'pre_get_posts'. add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function ( $query ) { if ( special_condition() ) { $query->set( 'exclude_archiveless', true ); } } );
Handling archiveless posts with get_posts()
calls
Queries made with get_posts()
will always exclude archiveless posts by default
since get_posts()
sets a default post_status
of publish
. To include
archiveless posts, you can specify the post_status
of any
, declare the
post_status
explicitly with [ 'publish', 'archiveless' ]
, or pass
include_archiveless
set to true:
// $post_ids will include archiveless posts. $post_ids = get_posts( [ 'fields' => 'ids', 'include_archiveless' => true, 'suppress_filters' => false, ] ); // Or declare the post_status explicitly. $post_ids = get_posts( [ 'fields' => 'ids', 'suppress_filters' => false, 'post_status' => [ 'archiveless', 'publish' ], ] );
Install
The plugin includes uncompiled Javascript. You can install the plugin by
tracking the main-built
branch or by using a *-built
tag. Otherwise, you can
download the plugin and compile the assets manually:
npm install npm run build
