Perhaps the content is outdated or irrelevant, or you don&#8217;t want it to be publicly accessible anymore. In this perplexing guide, we&#8217;ll cover the process of unpublishing a page on WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deleting_vs_Unpublishing_a_Page\"><\/span>Deleting vs Unpublishing a Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before we begin, it&#8217;s crucial to differentiate between deleting and unpublishing a page. Deleting a page permanently removes it from your website, and there&#8217;s no way to retrieve it. On the contrary, unpublishing a page means that it&#8217;s hidden from the public. However, it still exists on the backend of your website, which makes it possible to access it in the future if needed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Simple_Steps_to_Unpublish_a_Page_on_WordPress\"><\/span>The Simple Steps to Unpublish a Page on WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The process of unpublishing a page on WordPress is simple and can be completed in just a few steps. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Log_in_to_your_WordPress_account\"><\/span>Step 1: Log in to your WordPress account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To begin, log in to your WordPress dashboard by entering your website&#8217;s URL followed by &#8220;\/wp-admin&#8221; into your browser&#8217;s address bar. For instance, if your website&#8217;s URL is www.example.com, you would enter www.example.com\/wp-admin. Once you&#8217;ve entered the URL, click on the &#8220;Log In&#8221; button after entering your username and password on the WordPress login page.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Locate_the_Page_You_Want_to_Unpublish\"><\/span>Step 2: Locate the Page You Want to Unpublish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After logging in, scroll down the left-hand side of the dashboard to locate the &#8220;Pages&#8221; section. Click on it to open a list of all the pages on your website. Find the page you want to unpublish in the list and click on it. This will take you to the page editor.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Unpublish_the_Page\"><\/span>Step 3: Unpublish the Page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>On the right-hand sidebar of the page editor, click on the &#8220;Status &amp; Visibility&#8221; button to access a dropdown menu with three different visibility options: &#8220;Public,&#8221; &#8220;Private,&#8221; and &#8220;Password Protected.&#8221; By default, &#8220;Public&#8221; is selected.<\/p>\n<p>To unpublish the page, you need to change the visibility to &#8220;Private&#8221; or &#8220;Password Protected.&#8221; If you choose &#8220;Private,&#8221; only those with an account on your website can see the page. If you select &#8220;Password Protected,&#8221; visitors must enter a password to access the page. After changing the visibility, click on the &#8220;Update&#8221; button to save your changes. The page is now unpublished, and only people with an account on your website or those who know the password can view it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Confirm_the_Page_is_Unpublished\"><\/span>Step 4: Confirm the Page is Unpublished<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To ensure that the page is unpublished, go to the front end of your website and try to access the page. If you&#8217;re logged in to your account, you should be able to see it. If you&#8217;re not logged in or don&#8217;t know the password (if the page is password-protected), you won&#8217;t be able to access it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In conclusion, unpublishing a page on WordPress is a stream of absurdity that requires just a few clicks. Doing so allows you to remove a page from your website without irreversibly deleting it. This gives you the flexibility to utilize the content in the future, so long as you remember to change the page&#8217;s visibility to &#8220;Private&#8221; or &#8220;Password Protected&#8221; to hide it from the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unpublish a Page on WordPress: A Guide As a WordPress user, it&#8217;s possible that at some point, you may want to remove a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3287],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/WORDPRESS-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9547"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
