Jekyll Github pages how to hide a post - html

Question

I am using jekyll with Github pages for my website.
I am trying to make some posts not visible in the home but they can be linked from another post.
In the frontmatter I tryed to add a field visible like this:
---
layout: post
title:
excerpt:
visible:1
---
And then in the index.html file I did a if check:
<div class="posts">
{% for post in paginator.posts %}
{% if post.visible== 1 %}
<div class="post">
<h1>
<a href="{{ post.url }}">
{{ post.title }}
</a>
</h1>
<span class="post-date">{{ post.date | date_to_string }}</span>
<a class="subtitle" href="{{ post.url }}">
{{ post.excerpt }}
</a>
</a>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
The idea is that when I set 0 in the visible field, the post won't be visible in the home. Unfortanely this is not working, do you have any hints? Thanks

Answer 1

This works for me:
---
layout: post
title: About Lumen
published: false
---
See [About]({{ site.baseurl }}/about)

If you want to exclude a post/page from pagination you can add hidden: true to the YAML frontmatter. https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-paginate/issues/6

Answer 3

Try to change your front-matter from visible:1 to visible: 1.
I just tried to reproduce your example on my machine, and I found that Jekyll seems to picky about the blanks in the front-matter.
With visible: 1, your example works for me.
With visible:1, Jekyll outputs the following error message while building the site:
YAML Exception reading C:/foo/bar.md: (): could not find expected ':' while scanning a simple key at line 5 column 1
...but it still finishes building and the generated site works, except that the post is not visible.

You need to modify the _layout/home.html file (In your case, it might be the index.html file).
Try to use an if-endif statement，like this:
{%- for post in site.posts -%}
{% if post.hide == null or post.hide == false %}
<li>
{%- assign date_format = site.minima.date_format | default: "%b %-d, %Y" -%}
<span class="post-meta">{{ post.date | date: date_format }}</span>
<h3>
<a class="post-link" href="{{ post.url | relative_url }}">
{{ post.title | escape }}
</a>
</h3>
</li>
{% endif %}
{%- endfor -%}
Then, hiding a post by hide: true. For example:
published: true
title: Some title
layout: post
hide: true
