How do I make a post on my wordpress blog not visible on the homepage

I have no idea how to do it.. I don't want to risk messing up my other posts but want to move one the posts that I don't want to show on the homepage but want it to be visible in the sidebar in the 'recent posts' section..


How do I do this? thanks.

 

To keep your post from appearing on the home page, set one of your posts as sticky to home page. To do that, go to edit posts -- select checkbox sticky and update that post.

 

Hi, I have gone to 'edit post' but I can't see any 'sticky' checkbox....

 

if you want to make a static page, that could hide all of your new posts... select a static page for your homepage..


Settings > Reading

 

thanks for replying but I don't want to hide all my new posts just one of them...

 

Then make it private... for your eyes only..

 

Ofcourse!!!

It's so obvious I dont know why I didn't notice. You must be thinking 'what a small brain you have'. Thanks.

 

will the bots still see it though? it's gone from the 'recent posts' in the sidebar. I wanted it to appear there.

 

install two blogs..............................one for home page and other for your blog post..............you can use a folder name like blog..................and get all achieve code of your blog to home page sidebar................personal view.............

 

Wait a minute.

You have to choose the quick edit, not the normal edit post to be able to choose the checkbox to make a post sticky.

Secondly, this will make a chosen post sticky and keeps all other posts on the sidebar.There is no need to make this or any post private also

 

This is why I love digitalpoint. Thank you!
