## Descrição

Post Visibility Control adds visibility options to posts, pages, and custom post
types. Control exactly where your content appears without making it private.

The plugin integrates seamlessly into the native WordPress interface. In the Block
Editor (Gutenberg), you will find the options inside the Status & Visibility popup
when you click on the post status. In the Classic Editor, the options appear within
the Visibility section of the Publish metabox, right where you would expect them.

**Features:**

 * Works with posts, pages, and custom post types
 * Four visibility options: Visible, Archive only, Search only, Hidden
 * Compatible with both Classic Editor and Block Editor (Gutenberg)
 * Hidden content remains accessible via direct URL
 * Automatically excludes WooCommerce products (they have their own visibility)
 * Lightweight and follows WordPress coding standards
 * Translation ready

**Visibility Options:**

 * **Visible** – Content appears in archives and search results (default)
 * **Archive only** – Content appears in archives but not in search results
 * **Search only** – Content appears in search results but not in archives
 * **Hidden** – Content is hidden from archives and search, accessible only via 
   direct link

**Use Cases:**

 * Hide landing pages from blog archives
 * Exclude specific posts from search results
 * Create content accessible only via direct links
 * Control which posts appear on your homepage

## Perguntas frequentes

### Where do I find the visibility options?

In the Block Editor (Gutenberg): Edit your post, then click on the “Status” in the
right sidebar to open the Status & Visibility popup. The Visibility Control options
appear there with four radio buttons.

In the Classic Editor: Edit your post and look at the Publish metabox in the right
sidebar. The Visibility Control options appear within the Visibility section, below
the standard WordPress visibility settings.

### Does this work with custom post types?

Yes, the plugin automatically supports all public custom post types that use the
editor.

### Will hidden content still be accessible?

Yes, hidden content is only removed from archives and search results. Anyone with
the direct URL can still access the content.

### Does this work with WooCommerce products?

WooCommerce products are excluded because they have their own built-in visibility
feature.

### Is the plugin compatible with caching plugins?

Yes, but you may need to clear your cache after changing visibility settings.

### Does this affect SEO?

Hidden or excluded content can still be indexed by search engines if accessible 
via direct URL. Consider using noindex if you want to prevent indexing.
