Is it possible to make a page "unaccesible" by URL? so if i make a custom post type that i only want to use in views, without having to worry about others can see the post's, and getting crawled by Google..

I suggest you try Access plugin, disable the "Read" ability for guest user and other user roles.

then the visitor cant see queried fields from the disabled post type?
i want to use the post types and they should be able to see it in front end.. i just dont want the pages to be public if im using it for i.e. CRED bookings that shouldnt be public..

If you disable the "Read" ability for guest user and other user roles, the visitor can not see the it within the page/post URL, and you will be able to display all custom fields within Views.

Google crawler is a guest user, If you are going to disable guest read ability for all posts of your custom post type, please try:

Hi. Sorry but no.. i have already set it, and i tried restoring and setting it to above settings (again) and i still get "No post/results found" when in incognito mode, but when i switch to logged in window, i can see the queries.. i have attached screenshots below.

I know Google is a guest as everyone else not logged in, but thank you 🙂

You are right, I have been able to duplicate same problem in my localhost, Views won't display the post of which is hidden for current user in Access.

If the post type is created with Types, please try this, Goto your WP admin side:
Access-> find post type "Slider", disable the option "Managed by Access"

Types-> Types & Taxonomies-> Edit Custom Post Type "Slider"
in section "Options", disable option "publicly_queryable", and test again.

More help:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
publicly_queryable
(boolean) (optional) Whether queries can be performed on the front end as part of parse_request().
Default: value of public argument
Note: The queries affected include the following (also initiated when rewrites are handled)
?post_type={post_type_key}
?{post_type_key}={single_post_slug}
?{post_type_query_var}={single_post_slug}

Very good. Thanks alot.

Could you make the dev team look into the error you receive when you visit a non-queryable page?
