    Hello

    I got some posts on my blogg that i want to temporarly hide, but not want to delete forever, i might want to publish them again in the future. Is there any other way than to trash the posts to make this happen?

    If i trash them will they be auto deleted after a while? Or will they stay in trash intill i decide to restore or delete them ?

  • You could change the post status to concept?

    Deleting/hiding them will however hurt you in Google.

    Where do i change this in the post edit? I see i can also change the status to pending.

    what do you mean by that google will hurt me? Is google able to show the posts even when their status is changed?

    You can change them also to pending or concept.
    Pending means that you have a date set in the future. I you don’t concept would be better.

    You can change the status right next to the publish button in the edit screen.

    Google won’t hurt you but it will delete the page from its search so you will not be found.

    (If your post has a lot of visitors, then your site will lose these vistors.

    The purpose of removing them is that should go of google and the blog for a half a year or so, and then i will show them again.

    in that case: change status to concept and you’re done.

    If that solves it can you change the status to resolved?

    Will try later on. But after some days google will also not find the post? I tried somthing similar and googled the name of the post, and google found it.

    No. when you change the status to concept, WordPress will not show the post (if you’re not logged in). It will show a 404.

    Test it for yourself.

    But Google will keep a cached version.

    Please change the status to this topic to resolved.

    How long will google store the cached version?

    I think we are getting off topic now.

    This is not a Google webmaster forum.You can do a google search for Google specific questions.

    I think your question how to hide a post in WordPress has been answered? If so please change the status to resolved.
