Can you see all published pages?

  • Hidden pages?
    Can you see all published pages not in a Menu, without knowing its specific URL?
    I am asking because i have some pages on my website, i don’t want’em in my Menu, i just like to give’em to people with the exact URL without them being commonly known otherwise.
    Is that possible? .. I don’t put any tags on those pages to search for.
    I have been looking into how metadata works, and it seems you have to set it up on your website in order to work. I know i can lock down pages with a password, but i just wonder if pages not in a menu is easily accessed by the general public?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Pages do not have to be in a menu. If they’re getting automatically added, go to APPEARANCE->MENU and uncheck the box to “automatically add new pages to this menu”. You can then remove the pages you don’t want on the menu from the existing menu.

    I guess i did not make myself very clear
    My agenda is to keep pages off from the general public without having to put a password on’em, just want to hide them .. my qeustion is if it is possible to find “hidden” pages which are not in a menu, unless you know its specific name.

    You’d need to exclude those pages from a search and no-index them for Google. For the latter, use Yoast SEO.

    Thank you for advice .. i see there are 2 issues to it, and they will still be indexed and show up in sitemap.xml. i will check out Yoast.
