Title: Plugin not working on posts page Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Plugin not working on posts page * [Wonderful Wanderings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wonderful-wanderings/) * (@wonderful-wanderings) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/) * Hi there, * I’m using this plugin, but I have to make pages of the posts I don’t want to show because the plugin isn’t working everywhere for posts… I want to be able to hide my posts everywhere, except from searches and search engines, but when I use WP Hide Post, the posts still show up ion my blog page (which isn’t my home page) AND when I go through my posts using ‘next/previous post’. * This is pretty annoying as I’m now stuck with a bunch of hidden pages that should actually be posts * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-post/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-hide-post/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Thread Starter [Wonderful Wanderings](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wonderful-wanderings/) * (@wonderful-wanderings) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332407) * Anyone? * [IanLeslie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ianleslie/) * (@ianleslie) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332437) * I see the same thing. This plug-in was doing just what I wanted until I switched to a static front page. Now the blog page shows the hidden posts even though I don’t want them there. * [sliceofpie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sliceofpie/) * (@sliceofpie) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332440) * I think I’ve found a solution, but it involves hacking the plugin. You need to replace is_front_page() with is_home() in wp-hide-post.php line 60: * ``` function wphp_is_front_page() { return is_front_page(); } ``` * Should be: * ``` function wphp_is_front_page() { return is_home(); } ``` * [blaniosh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blaniosh/) * (@blaniosh) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332457) * Excellent – I can confirm that the change above works. * [LagaV](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lagav/) * (@lagav) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332461) * Unfortunately I can’t confirm that this code change worked. I still see the hidden post, when opening a listed post. * [ChewieLolz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maureenbriard/) * (@maureenbriard) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332464) * Wow, thanks sliceofpie. I was looking for a solution to this problem and your code snippet appears to have done the trick. Great. * [RB001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rb001/) * (@rb001) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332465) * Thanks sliceofpie that worked for me * [Shaan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/munny1/) * (@munny1) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332466) * Yes, I can confirm that the code works for me as well. * [neocast](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neocast/) * (@neocast) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332467) * Code snippet worked for me as well. * [rickshawman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dubpluris/) * (@dubpluris) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332468) * Worked for me too. Seems like this should be included in the plugin as its pretty common for the blog not to be the homepage. Thanks!! * [terri_c](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terri_c/) * (@terri_c) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332469) * This hack worked for me for a little while, but now my hidden posts are showing again. I still have the correct code in the php file. function wphp_is_front_page(){ return is_home(); } Any thoughts? * [thezedt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thezedt/) * (@thezedt) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-not-working-on-posts-page/#post-4332471) * _is\_front\_page()_ and _is\_home()_ return different results depending on who is displaying your posts list (the “homepage” or the “blog page”). * That’s why one works for some while the other for others. Changing to * ``` return is_home() || is_front_page() ``` * will match both cases (but may match too much). * See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_home](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_home) for reference.
