How to hide no index post?

Hi there,

adding a noindex tag won't remove a post from your site, its simply a meta tag that search engine bots will see.

If you want to exclude a post from your blog then add this snippet:

function exclude_single_posts_archive($query) {
	 if ( !is_admin() && !is_singular() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		  $query->set('post__not_in', array(1223, 776,878) );
	  }
}
add_action('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_single_posts_archive');

In the array: array(1223, 776,878) is a list of Post IDs replace those with the one ( or many ) that you want to exclude.

Thanks David,

One more question. That particular post is still listed in the recent post and category widgets. Is there a way to hide them as well?

Hi Akshay,

As an alternative, you can use a Query Loop Block instead of these two blocks. In the Query Loop Block, you can exclude specific posts.

Thanks a lot Fernando!

You’re welcome Akshay!
