Upload plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Deactivate plugin any time to disable its effect. ## FAQ ### A page of my weblog is set to Private but it is indexed by google. Why? There are diffrent situations: Maybe there is a link to the private page in another public page, in XML site map, another site, etc. You may add “noindex” meta directive for this kind of pages if required. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3467afc0ebe36f9d73ad2daa33cf94f5deaa0c909f88d7d7d4ad9cf3f3757371? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Perfectly!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-1640/)󠁿 [ajiaim](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ajiaim/) ମାର୍ଚ୍ଚ 4, 2019 Great plugin!

It has saved me so much work. I can now ensure that certain posts are shareable via URL but do not show up in archive pages. To be doubly sure that these private posts did not show up in search engine results, I used a custom field that inserts robots noindex meta to the head of the page. function add_meta_noindex(){ global $post; $noindex = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'noindex-post', true); if ($noindex){ echo "\n"; } } add_action('wp_head', 'add_meta_noindex'); [ Read all 6 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/show-private/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Show Private” is open source software.
