    Hi,

    I'm creating pages for review but I don't want it to be posted publicly. Like for example, I did a draft page to be reviewed by my superior and when I tried searching it on DuckDuckGo, it appears on their result. I made a TV to include a noindexed on the header and google doesn't crawl on it anymore. But DuckDuckGo is a different matter.

    Is there anyway I can make the pages privately? On WordPress, you can just put a password on a page so that no one else can view it.

    thanks

      One way is to just not to publish them and give your superior view_unpublished permission if they don't have it already. In this case your superior would have to be logged in to either the Manager or the front end.

      Another way would be something like this:

      To publish the page, just remove the snippet tag.

      I started an extra a long time ago that would let you create drafts and hold them for approval, but I never got around to finishing it.

          Hi BobRay

          unpublishing it seems to be the best idea. But I need to create a user for my superior so that she can also view the page.
