Is there a way to create invisible pages?

I’d like to add a page that does not appear anywhere on the site (especially not in the header or wherever your pages are listed) unless the URL is typed in directly. Additionally, the page/post should be password-protected.

I know how to add a password, but I found no way to remove the page from being listed.

Hi @mafutrct:

There are a lot of ways to do this; picking one is actually the challenge! I’m going to suggest a few options and let you explore (the ones at the top look most promising):

• Page Protection Plugin
• Password Protect enhancement Plugin
• Better Protected Pages
• Simply Exclude Plugin (Article)
• Hide Pages Plugin
• Creating ‘hidden’ pages in wordpress which don’t appear in the navigation menu

I’m assuming your are using wp_list_pages() for your menus? If so consider moving to the new menus in v3.0 where you’ll get full control of what appears in those menus:
