Templates not available in Muffin Builder when privately published?

mcumello · September 2017

Good evening. We have a number of templates in our WP org, which I recently realized had URLs and were essentially public. Those template pages were also being included in our sitemap. In an effort to hide them from public view, and to remove them from the sitemap, I switched them to "privately published". Upon making that change, those templates became unavailable in Muffin Builder.

What is the best way to ensure those template pages are not viewable to the general public, are not part of our sitemap, but are still available when building out pages in Muffin Builder?

Hi,
Sorry but you must be talking about seomthing else because this makes no sense.
Please send some screenshots, maybe this will shed some light.
thanks

Sure - can I simply email the images to you?

Use services like snag.gy or pasteboard.co

Here you go. The first image is our list of templates. The second shows an actual template with permalink. The 3rd shows that template is accessible and public by visiting that permalink. If you switch the template to "Published Privately", it is no longer available for selection when building out pages in Muffin Builder.

Sorry but this is how wordpress works, we do not have any contol over it.
You can disable custom post type indexing with the Yoast SEO plugin.
