  Hello, I have an idea for a WordPress blog that would direct readers to a surprising ‘click here to find out’ conclusion. I’d like to create a hyperlink to another WordPress page that could only be accessed through that hyperlink. It wouldn’t show up on my site menu or on a search engine. Is that doable, and if so, how?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  hi,

  This is my suggestion:

  Let’s say we have
  Blog 1 – contains ‘click here to find out’ links
  Blog 2 – the hidden blog that is not indexed by search engines

  1. create Blog 2 – ‘hidden‘ blog that is not indexed by search engines:
  My Sites: choose the correct site > Settings > Hidden
  https://screenshots.firefox.com/GyVdpjmokRYD1Ujd/wordpress.com

  2. In your Blog 1, write posts in the posts content, insert links to Blog 2.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/links/

  Alternatively, you can include both question and answer contents in one blog and use the quiz shortcode to only reveal the answer when clicked.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/quiz-shortcode/
  However, with this option, the entire blog is either included or excluded from search engines. You cannot just include the questions and exclude answers in search engines.

  Let us know if you have more questions.

  Thank you, Kosiew!

  Sorry, I haven’t gotten back to you sooner (other things have cropped up on me) but I just wanted to let you know your solution appears to have worked. I’m sending a limited version of the page and reveal to some friends to see if it opens correctly for them. It did when I tried it.

  Much appreciated!
