Product "hidden" option

Hi



I know you can have a product in three states: Active, Disabled and Hidden



What exactly does hidden do? Does it keep the product in the search engines but no in the front end product list?



Thx

Yes. You can say a landing page or custom error page or promotional page.

I dont understand…

Here’s the definitions of the different statuses and their implications:

Active: Product is searchable, visible, shows in blocks and can be linked to from outside.

Hidden: Product is only available via a link or direct access to the page (does not generate a 404). It is not searchable or shown in any blocks.

Disabled: Not accessible from anywhere other than admin. If the page is accessed via a link, a 404 is generated.

Thanks, but if in hidden state is the product still available to the search engines?



Thx

Only if they have a direct link. It will not show in any category listings, filters or searches.
