How do I hide a webpage from the public?

If you want to tuck a webpage out of sight like it’s a shy cat under the bed, there are a few clean ways to do it—each one suited to a different level of “please look away.”

For a WordPress page, the simplest cloak is “Visibility: Private.”
When editing the page, look on the right side under Status & Visibility. Change Public to Private. Only logged-in users with the right access can see it. That’s usually enough for most sneakiness.

If you need something stronger, you can also switch the page to Password Protected. Same place, but choose “Password protected” and set a password. Then only people you give the code to can open it—like a tiny digital speakeasy.

If you want it hidden from search engines too, go to Settings → Reading and check “Discourage search engines from indexing this site.” WordPress phrases it politely, but it's basically saying, “Search engines, please pretend this site doesn’t exist.”

And if you're being truly dramatic, unpublish the page: change its status to Draft. That’s the digital equivalent of stuffing it in a drawer.

Each method hides things in a slightly different flavor, and sometimes people mix them like a cocktail.
