TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners who want a curated home page while keeping older content reachable elsewhere. It solves the problem of certain categories cluttering the home page by hiding them there while still allowing access via archives, search, direct URLs, RSS feeds, and other queries.
