I previously showed a way to hide a page in wordpress – details here – but was then alerted to a plugin by Robert Mahfoud (now Apple A Day) which does the job for any posts you may want to hide, with the added bonus of choosing which areas you want to hide it from!

Handy if you have diverse posts, which you may not want to see on your homepage – the post will remain accessible normally through permalinks, archives etc, though.

Very easy to install – and simple to use – what more could you want??

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What does this plugin do? =

It enables you to create *low profile* posts that can be hidden (temporarily or permanently) from the homepage and/or a feed. The post will remain accessible normally through other means, such as permalinks, archives, etc… and thus will remain visible to search engines.

= How can I make a post private so that no one can see it? =

If you want to make a post completely private you don’t need this plugin. Wordpress supports options such as private and/or password-protected posts out of the box.

= Can I make a post *low profile* for a while, but then make it normal again? =

Yes. The *low profile* flags are just another attribute of the post. It can be added or removed at any time, just like editing anything else about the post.

Take a look and download the plugin here – and don’t forget to let them know what you think of this plugin!!
