FAQ
No, it does not affect crawling and indexing by search engines.
The ONLY thing it does is hiding selected post/pages from your site search page. Not altering SEO indexing.
If you want posts/pages to be hidden from search engines you may add the following snippet to your functions.php:
function add_meta_for_search_excluded() { global $post; if (false !== array_search($post->ID, get_option('sep_exclude', array()))) { echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />', "\n"; } } add_action('wp_head', 'add_meta_for_search_excluded'); Note: already indexed pages will remain indexed for quite a while. In order to remove them from Google index, you may use Google Search Console (or similar tool for other engines).
