Recently I had a requirement to add a photo gallery on one of my blogs. I added the gallery as a new category and wanted to add individual posts under the gallery showcasing my photographs. One problem I was facing was, each time I add a new photo to the gallery, it appears as a new post on the homepage. Such posts were not adding much value to my blog’s home page and I wanted to hide it.
Today, we will learn a quick method on how to hide “specific posts” from the home page without altering anything else. Firstly, install a very light weight plugin called Hide on Homepage and activate it. Further, create a new post and scroll down to find “custom fields” and add a new custom field named “hide_on_homepage” and set the value as “1”. On publishing an article / post with this custom field and value will ensure that post will be excluded from the home page.
Thank you very much for this tutorial. It is simple and was very helpful as I was searching for some method to hide posts from the home page.
