How do I not display a post without deleting it?
-
I need to keep several posts from displaying on my site, but I do not want to delete them as they may need to come back (we host info about businesses that belong to our association and some of these that have become inactive may decide to rejoin us).

Click on “Edit” and select “Draft” from the drop down and save changes – that will set the Post or Page to “Draft” and it will be saved on your site but not visible to the public
I always do a “Save”before leaving the edit page –
