Im about to develop a new site that will be a "sibling"/child to one of my sites that i have licensed but under a new suffix for a new language.
But on the "Parent-site" i use toolset and the child will not, for the moment. And the child-site will almost be exactly the same in other ways. so i have made a copy of the site. That worked good.
I dont want to delete all the content i have created with toolset. But i dint want google to find the post type and all that content connected to the post type. For now.

How can do this best? Can i inactivate toolset and all its content will remain in the database until i re-activate toolset again ?
Or can i temporary "lock down" the post type in any way ?
I have 1200 posts in toolset and around 1000 subscribers /users a couple for forms for add, edit from front end and so on.

any idea ? Thanks!

Hello,

I suggest you try these:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Post Types, find and edit your custom post type:
Disable option "publicly_queryable", it will setup a hidden post type, so google won't be able to find the post type and all that content connected to the post type.

More help:

Whether queries can be performed on the front end as part of parse_request().
