Interesting that no one has run into this before.

However you shouldn't need to manually add a tag. Unpublished pages should 404 automatically. Are you logged into the Control Panel? Drafts are accessible on the front-end while logged in.

Without the {{ 404 }}, does the draft URL 404 when you use an Incognito browser window?

[tiagofcp]

yes its rendering the pages when they are in draft, any one with the URL can access them, and since they appear on the sitemap google is indexing them

[jasonvarga]

But are they being rendered when you visit in a private browser window?

[tiagofcp]

ok without session opened its giving a 404, but they still appear on the sitemap but its a issue with advarkSEO, because if we disable the main language they disapear from all sitemaps

We get this error as well. However it affects posts that are published with a future date and not drafts.

We would want to publish to a future date, so we check in the template if the date of the post is in the future and if so return the 404-tag - then we get this error.

Drafts doesn't really solve this since they would have to be manually published.
