How To make your post hidden

[kishan1901]

Can anyone tell me that how I can make my post make hidden in my home page
and get weblink for that post?

I don't completely understand your question, but I think you want to write text on your page but not allow the readers to see it?

If so, you can simply just make the color of the text to match the background, and set the text to a very small size, so there is not a huge patch of blank spot on your blog. This will make it look like there is nothing there but still have websites and search engines like google notice the text.
Hopefully I helped you out a bit.

yep, I'm sure it is. I don't do it myself nor do I support it in any fashion...I was just trying to help the kid out

Not neccessarily, it could mean that the post won't be visible on the home page, but visible on other pages within the site, nothing black hat about that!

There are a few hacks available in Wordpress to do this. One such hack is to create a category called "hidden", and change the wordpress loop on the main page so that it displays only posts not in the hidden category. Browse the codex on how to do this.

Somebody will have a better idea though

ok

Yes, using hidden text would be considered "blackhat." I don't think that's what the original poster was looking for though.

Post #5 offers a good suggestion. Making a hidden category and excluding it from the main index loop.

Template Tags/query posts « WordPress Codex
Function Reference/WP Query « WordPress Codex

Will help with that.

There's a plugin that gives you the control to exclude categories from your main page, RSS feed etc, even search results:

WordPress › Advanced Category Excluder « WordPress Plugins

Hope this helps
