@news Dang! I deleted my Archives page yesterday. I could've hidden it instead. Anyway, not a big deal.

@news on a similar note, @manton I just opened this PR on the Tiny Theme because people keep asking for it. Might be worth considering having @sod doing a pass on the included MB themes with more and more people using the unique "Post RSS feed to blog" feature

@lukemperez Navigate to <micro.blog>. Select Pages in the left-hand column of links. Then click the page you want to hide, uncheck the box to "include this page in your blog navigation," and click the "Update Page" button.

@manton, thank you for this.

@MitchW @jsonbecker @lukemperez @eumrz @pratik @SimonWoods @news Does this mean that if one disables the archive page and starts showing posts belonging to a category in a new unlisted page, it will act as a private repository of posts accessible only that link?

@jrr Iā€™m not sure what you mean or are trying to achieve. Perhaps ask on the forums?

@jrr Private as in not listed in the menu bar of your blog then yes. But anyone knowing that they can access it by going to ā€¦/category/category-name/ makes it partially hidden and not private per se. Unless you choose to obfuscate your category names by not displaying them anywhere and using them uncommon names. Still maybe better hidden but not private.

@pratik Yes, hidden is a better word to use and you are right that was the intent, to have posts hidden in plain sight. Accessible only to those with knowledge to URL of the category page.

Just need to remember to filter such posts from the home page feed.

While this may work on my site, I wonder if the API based viewing in a client like Lillihub will respect this šŸ¤”

It will not. You've to edit the RSS feed file for that. I've done it for a different purpose but I think smarter minds can tell you if it's do-able.

You don't have to. We have already solved this in the Help Forum.
