Public visibility turned off – still shows in admin dashboard?

    I have a custom post type that I only want to use inside Bricks builder query loops. As such, I toggled off “Public” (Visible on the frontend and in the admin dashboard.) but kept on “Active” (Active post types are enabled and registered with WordPress.)

    Even though the description against “Public” says the post type will not show in the admin dashboard, it does (it’s in the menu on the left). That’s actually what I want, I just don’t want it to show up anywhere else (link search, publicly queryable, search results etc.) but I’m confused – is the label description incorrect, or the functionality broken?

    Hi!

    If you have Advanced Configuration/Settings enabled, you’ll see the Visibility menu below. This menu contains specific options for which post type should be visible/active. By default, most of these settings inherit the global Public setting. Therefore, when you enable Advanced Settings, you can fine-tune the post type’s display to suit your needs. For more information, see the register_post_type() function documentation.
