I’m having the same problem but the script isn’t working. Put the script in at the bottom but it didn’t take the testimonials posts page away. Do I need to move the script elsewhere within the functions.php?
I’m using a current release of the Divi theme. Could that have something to do with it?
Hi Emma, I have the script in functions.php
and it works fine.
I remember at first the /testimonials/
archive page didn’t disappear – perhaps a caching issue?
Then it started returning a 500 error
. Not it’s returning a 404
which is better.
Do you have a page with the slug testimonials
in your site? I’d rename that to something like client-testimonials
, then you can set a 301 redirect
from /testimonials/
to the new one.

Used the Redirection Plugin for the 301 redirect to /client-testimonials. Works great! Thanks for the suggestion.
You’re welcome – the script to disable the archive page should work, though
I’m not entirely sure why I couldn’t trigger the 500 or 404 errors for the testimonials post. I am working via localhost. None of the plugins seem to be affecting the script. I don’t think I have any other script that would interfere. I have a live demo up via Forward: https://eit.fwd.wf/EIT_WP/
