I think the issue is that EE doesn’t know which template to render a “Closed” page with but I could be wrong.

Here’s what I would think would work:

{exp:channel:entries channel="page" require_entry="yes"}
 {if no_results}{redirect="404"}{/if}
 ...
{/exp:channel:entries}

I also tried:

{exp:channel:entries channel="page"}
 ...
{/exp:cannel:entries}
{exp:channel:entries channel="page" status="not open"}
 {if no_results}{redirect="404"}{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Ideas?

Try adding status=“open” to the first one.

Also, ensure that you’ve enabled strict urls.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for posting your question to the Forums!

When you say “page” are you referring to the Pages Module, or simply an entry?

Once an entry is set to “closed”, by default ExpressionEngine should not try to display it. But with the Pages Module, I’m not sure how ExpressionEngine should behave.

Can we come in for a look?

Cheers,

At least on 1.x, a Pages entry set to something other than the specified status is redirected to a 404 as expected.

Edit: Works on 2.x as well.
