Hide Drafts in Menus

Përshkrim

If you unpublish a page or post, it still appears in your custom menus. This plugin automatically prevents pages/posts set to “draft” or “pending review” from appearing in custom menus on the site, while keeping their place in the menu structure. When they’re published, they’ll appear in the menu automatically.

This plugin also modifies the custom menu editing screen to clearly indicate the unpublished status of items in the menu.

NOTE: We are aware of a limitation in the plugin, that a page/post must be published to appear in the list of items you can select to add to the menu. We are working on a solution. In the meantime, the workaround is to temporarily publish the page/post, add it to the menu, and then set it back to “draft”.

Instalim

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. There’s no step 3!

One of those plugins you can’t believe hasn’t been rolled into core by now. I’ve been using it as one of my standard install plugins and it’s very helpful for rolling out sites with multiple draft pages etc. Has worked perfectly for years. Had a slight problem this last week but the developer fixed it within 12 hours of me posting about it. Can’t ask for more than that.

It’s hard to believe that this functionality is not part of WordPress core, since it simply does not make sense to show a menu item which links to an unpublished page.

Does what it says, I could easily extend it to hide also private posts.

This Plugin makes exactly what i’m looking for. But it’s special, that this plugin is necessary, because that should be a part of the stock WP. and it’s very easy, install, run, done!

Regjistër ndryshimesh

1.5.1 – 2024.05.14

  • Fixed an issue that would cause categories to be hidden. Added a check to ensure that the logic for hiding menu items only applies to items that are a post type (e.g. post, page, custom post type), not taxonomies or other types of objects.
  • Changed CSS styling for hidden items on the admin Menus page to match the default WordPress styling for deleted items.
  • Bumped “tested up to” to 6.5.3.

1.5.0 – 2023.11.01

  • Changed SQL query to simply look for all posts that are not set to a status of publish, rather than the previous check for a few specific status values.
